Criminology

Immigration to France

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I noticed criminology was a reoccurring theme throughout my research on migration in understanding how legislation for migrants are formed.

My preliminary impression of it was that it is a pretty well developed article and the picture included in the right hand corner caught my eye, especially.

I chose Immigration to France because it dealt with migration and asylum seeking in France which is the sector of my PE org

The leading section was brief and gave insight into the different studies and definitions of criminology. Going into the next section that primarily focused in the history, I noticed that a lot more citations were needed in this section. Prior to doing this module, I would not have thought too much about this and would have taken the information in as credible.

The content of the article flowed very well. The "Schools of Thought" section was in chronological order which made it organized. The various schools of thought presented aided in the neutrality of this article so did the lack of adjectives. The article is well written and the picture included made me look more into things related to the article. I mentioned earlier about how citations were needed in the history section and the talk page discussion shows that contributors are actively trying to find citations for that part or change it. Overall, the page seems well developed.

For Immigration to France, I think the history part, especially the '1945-1974' needs more work cited. There are uses of adjectives that make the sentences seem subjective. A lot of work cited is needed in the history part. I found the graphs and charts useful and it was nice to see that they were also supported with citation. I think a handful of the charts are out of date. Something more current would be helpful as a lot of events economically and socially in a global scale have occurred.

The picture of the Bull did not aid in my understanding of French immigration and I think the significance of that logo can be expanded on. Overall the article is good for general information and is properly organized but could use more work cited and updated charts.
