Which article are you evaluating?
Forensic psychology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this as it is a very interesting article about forensic psychology in which I don't know much about this field and so would like to hear a bit more about it as it is of interest to me. Also, i do History and Archaeology but prefer Archaeology. Therefore the interest of forensics comes sort of hand in hand with archaeology when talking about the humanoids and bones of early people.

This article matters as it teaches and allows for a new kind of information on the field of psychology and how it is used in order to describe and help others, for an example you can use forensic psychology and apply it to science, technology, archaeology and the psychology of war which can further help people outside this field to learn it.

 * This article provides a very concise theory of forensic psychology but using other examples and the use of different people that the article will talk about. This includes people such as Sigmund Freud and Hugo Munsterberg. And so, from the jump it tells us what forensic psychology is and how it is used.
 * It also includes a small description of how forensic psychology can be used through a application of scientific knowledge and so offers a key description of what they are about to go into details about. As they describe Neuropsychology, counseling and the psychological association
 * It seems that all the information listed in the beginning of the article has been included in the article which makes the article very plausible as well as provides us with the thought of it being a good article as it says what it said it would say
 * The first paragraph seems to be very brief and not very long which is good as the author has included all of the important points in the first few sentences which draws in the reader and allows for people to get the information needed without having to read the entire article or spending a large amount of time on it
 * This article is quite relevant to the topic briefly due to the fact that it speaks and provides a insight on the way that forensic psychology can be used, in the sense that when a new drug comes into place of if a virus gets out of hand and they discover that a person from a million years ago as died from it. It can further help where the person got the flu from and so we can use it in order to furthermore emphasize and help the way that we see things
 * This article seems in date as the author does talk about events such as the psychological associations and effective of risk assessment. However, a lot of the articles that this author write are from the 1960s to the 2000’s therefore its quite in time however can be seen as being not in date
 * This article does deal with Wikipedia's equity gaps to an extent however it keeps to being neutral to the sense of it not necessarily providing an opinion on forensic psychology
