Evaluate the article
Lead section:

The lead section of this article has a good introductory sentence that well describes top of the article. none of the major sections within the article are mentioned in the first paragraph, it seems as though they are just giving background on the discipline. There are some things that are mentioned in the lead but not the body, for example, systemic racism. The lead is good, it is concise and doesn't include too much information, it just doesn't link to the article a lot.

Content:

Content wise, all of the content present in the article is relevant to the topic. The content in the article is for the most part up to date, but there could be some more up to date articles from the 2020s. I think all the content belongs on the page but I am unsure if there is content that is missing because I am not yet an expert in the field. While the article doesn't focus on any underrepresented groups, there may be room to do so after further research.

Tone and balance:

The point of view in this article is neutral and it is not biased. This article does not push any particular views and does not attempt to persuade the reader. This article is purely informative, and does not indicate the author(s) own views.

Sources and references:

Sources are relatively recent, some are older (taken from 1900's) but many are from the 2000's and 2010's. There are a few from the 2020's, and if there have been any advances in the field, more recent sources should be found. There is a diverse "sources" section with many different authors (though there are some more prominent ones who have been referenced several times). The sources include textbooks and peer-reviewed journal articles, which makes them relatively reliable. The links work (at least the ones that I clicked on did).

Organization and writing quality:

The organization and writing quality of this article are done well, it is concise, clear and easy to read. There are no visible spelling or grammatical errors. As well the article is well organized.

Images and media:

There is only one image, however it doesn't really add to the article in anyway. It is captioned appropriately.

Talk page discussion:In the talk page discussion, there are a few things mentioned including suggestions for edits/sections. The article is rated C-class for mid importance. It is part of 3 wiki projects, including crime, law enforcement and psychology. Forensic psychology has not really been mentioned in class.

Overall impressions:

This article has been listed as a level-5 vital article. The article is well written and researched and it is neutral. It can be improved by finding some more recent sources. I would assess this articles completeness as well developed.
