Option 1

 * Article title
 * Social work
 * Article Evaluation
 * This overall seems like a good article filled with objective, factual information. However, I feel there could be more information on the history of social work in the United States. They jump from the origin of social work in the U.S. to the role of social work during the Iraq war in 2003. I feel like more should be discussed about the cooption of social work in the U.S. by the government, how it has impacted families in ways other than in regard to mental health services, and the increasing recognition of racial diversity/intersectionality being taken into account.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Sex differences in crime


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article focuses primarily on the statistical differences between male and female people committing crime. The tone is objective, but I feel the article is short sighted. Much could be added extending beyond the gender binary, and extending on the statistical differences we see between years and note potential reasons why.


 * Sources
 * I'm not entirely sure how to go about finding sources for this as I feel most thorough documentation would be done in books. I would plan on citing the Gruber book.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Gender crime


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems to be focused on establishing "Gender crime" as a subset of crime similar to hate crimes. However, it could be improved by lengthening the history of these said crimes and the importance of intersectionality and imperialism that leads to the prevalence of these crimes occuring. It needs to be stated and a distinction should be made between individuals committing these crimes, like sexual assault, and state sanctioned gender crime, like forced sterilization.
