Which article are you evaluating?
(Forensic psychology)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(I chose this article because I have always been interested in forensic psychology. The article actually mentions how popular it has became since some of the criminal tv shows. I enjoy watching this show called Criminal Minds. At one point of time, I wanted to go into that field until I found out that forensic psychologists do not actually do some of the things that they portray in the tv series. I still believe that it is an interesting topic though. During my sophomore year, I actually took a forensic psychology course at UAB, and I found myself wanting to know more, but once I began doing more research on it, I decided not to not to pursue that career option.)

Evaluate the article
Overall, I believe this is a great article. It has however been edited several time due to different reasoning. The lead section discusses most of the parts that are included in the body. I did not see where they explained anything about neuropsychology in the body of article. I believe that possibly explaining it a bit more would have been beneficial to the article or why the Speciality Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists were revised.They could have added in the body of the text how the different sub disciplines are applied to forensic psychology. that The lead section text is clear and concise. I found the content in the article to be very helpful. It includes the history of Forensic Psychology and who contributed to the discovery of Forensic Psychology. It gave a suffice amount of history in the article. All the information that they provided all the necessary information. The information that is provided is relevant to the topic. However, as I read the talk page, someone addressed the article and stated that there was not enough information in the main content. The psychology article had more information and the editor worried if someone read the psychology article before reading the main article, they would feel like they did not get enough information.I believe that someone should have added images in the article but I did not find any. The article does a great job at keeping the tone neutral and it making a reader aware of the skepticism that the career received. It was written well however I did see some grammar changes. The article had duplicate words but they were caught. The article biggest strength to me is that it is clear and concise. I am able to easily understand what is written, and the weakness for me would be there are not any images to help enhance readers' understanding.
