When evaluating the lead section, the readers understanding of what the article talks about was made clear. The content in the article was very informative but didn't weight in on one subject to much. The information backs up the topic that was claimed at the beginning. The author has a neutral not bias tone. The author is giving all the information/ background on criminology but is not trying to get the reader to lean to one side of the argument. The information the author is providing the reader are backed up by other sources, making this source seem like a reliable article. While clicking on the links they all worked, to show the reader their credited information. The author kept the information organized so it was easy to navigate and understand the information. While evaluating the images and media, there we only a couple of pictures. The author could have included more images and caption to give the reader a better visual.
