Article Evaluation: Penology

-Everything in the article is very relevant to the article topic and title. There is nothing misleading at all whatsoever. It's concise and to the point!

-It seems to be that everything is up to date. I am sure more could be aded if I knew more about the overall subject, but for the most part it is pretty good.

-The article is very neutral. There is no one side to the facts being presented through out the article. Just as it should be.

-The links all worked from what I could tell and the sources were reliable sources of information. The sources themselves tend to be very neutral and not one sided either.

-Under the talk section of the article the only thing that is noted is that someone mentioned the article is terrible; however, they gave no real evidence as to why it was terrible.

- This article was apart of three wikiprojects, mainly including law projects which is interesting.

DRAFT

Background Group
Draft1: The term public criminology was first coined by Christopher Uggen and Michelle Inderbitzin and derived from Michael Buraway advocacy for public sociology at his 2004 presidential address to the American Sociological Association and his 2009 presidential address to the American Society of Criminology. Uggen and Inderbitzin suggested that a “ public criminology” would place greater emphasis on academic that delved in civic matters, policy, and political debates about crime, criminal law, and criminal justice.

Public criminology, in many ways, can be credited to Clifford R. Shaw, an exemplary scholar, who was persistent in his efforts to improve the circumstances of both communities and individuals in Chicago. In the 1920s, Shaw studied the relationship between neighborhoods of Chicago and crime. During his work, he formulated the social disorganization theory and mapped patterns of ethnic succession in these neighborhoods. In his work, he involved the residents of the communities that had high crime rates and delinquency to learn from them and to communicate his research findings. As time progressed, Shaw founded the Chicago Area Project which was geared to reduce conditions that resulted in high delinquency.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the emergence of public criminology saw various forms of public criminology being adapted and practiced by American public and policy criminologist Lloyd Ohlin and other scholars. Ohlin and other American Criminologist were engaged in the Great Society project as advisors to John F. Kennedy and others.Anton7278 (talk) 00:51, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Draft 2: Public criminology has had a lot of history in regards to defining what it is and what it should become. Two of the main authors who are credited with coining the term of public criminology are Christopher Uggen and Michelle Inderbitzin. Uggen and Inderbitzin shed some light on what exactly Public Criminology was. After Uggen and Inderbitzin brought forth their findings, many other Public Criminologists added to their work. 15lschriever (talk) 02:35, 18 October 2018 (UTC) Clifford R Shaw ran the Chicago area project in the 1920's and 1930's which applied the theories of Robert Park and Ernest Burgess which attempted to motivate local residents to deal with the social problems in their neighborhoods. John Irwin was a criminal turned criminologists that pushed rehabilitation in the 1960's. Elliot Currie is a professor of criminology at the University of California who works on policy and specializes in cases of violent crime, the social context of delinquency, etiology of drug abuse and the assessment of drug policy, race and criminal justice. George L. Kirkham was a criminologist who became a police officer. He wrote a book entitled "signal zero" in 1976 which was an attempt to change student's perceptions of a police officer.MissSammy79 (talk) 15:24, 18 October 2018 (UTC) Public criminology was created due to the need for the involvement of criminology in the democratic process and how it should engage with the public and in politics. The need for public criminology to have a place in our country lead to the collaboration of many authors and public criminologists who weighed in on the thought of how and where public criminology should be exercised. The foundation of Public Criminology is created in part as a collaboration of the following people below who have added their own findings to the overall big picture of public criminology. 15lschriever (talk) 02:51, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
