Planned Research.
I am very interested in juvenile delinquency and crime rates, as I had told you before. I was looking into other countries youth crime and could not necessarily find as interesting information as I had wanted. I then looked into Brazil and found a lot of information. This information was primarily on their gangs and drug usage.

I plan on adding to the crime in Brazil page. I have written on this page to tell anyone that may be watching, about my ideas. I then added a few sentences of information that I found. This was all just for starters, I am not very far into my research at this point, but do plan on getting a lot of it during spring break.

I have some ideas of focus for this topic ranging from different areas of crime. My main ideas are; violent crimes, murder rates, robberies, child prostitution, drug usage, and gang violence. I am looking forward to the feed back that you have because I am really wondering if all of these topics are maybe too much for my one section. I also am unsure if I will be able to find a lot of information on all of those areas anyways. Cant wait to hear what you are thinking! Maggiejo10 (talk) 04:04, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Good work on Brazil Youth Crime
You have a very nice start to narrowing down your work. The next task is to find some new sources using GALE Global Issues in Context and Academic Search Complete. I think once you get going you will find some outstanding stuff. And, nice start!Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 22:06, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Crime in Brazil edits
Hi Maggie. I moved the text you added to the Crime in Brazil article. There was already a paragraph discussing gang violence in the 'Current problems' section, so I placed your paragraph there. I also made a couple of small changes for clarity and formatted your reference. You can see the changes that I made in this edit. Once you have more content to add to the article, we probably will want a separate section or subsection. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Feedback on 3.27 sources
Hi MaggieJo10! Your sources look really promising. All of them seem very appropriate. My suggestions: Keep up the good work! Now is the time to hone in on the specifics. Cheers. Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 03:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Have you looked at them, more than just the references. One looks like it's in German?  What will you do with that?
 * Can you incorporate the sources suggested on the Talk:Crime_in_Brazil page?
 * Do any of these have statistics on youth in relation to violent crimes, murder rates, robberies, child prostitution, drug usage, and gang violence, the things you listed in your user page.
 * Once you put together the stats and the articles you proposed here, you should have a sense of what you have information to edit towards in the Crime in Brazil article. Also, use the plans you put on the [[Talk:Crime_in_Brazil] page to guide what research you will need from here.

Peer Review
Hey Maggie!

I got a chance to look at your work and you've done a great job using both encyclopedic writing style and a sociological/global approach to youth studies. Your time might be best served searching for more content. You actually have a lot of information, its just all put together that it makes it less readable than it could be. Reading through a bunch of statistics may be hard for the audience of Wikipedia. Adding some headings might help with this too. I think you've got a lot of good stuff to work with, keep on going. I have more specific edits on the rubric and if you want to see them sooner than class just post on my talk page and I can send you an email. Any questions, feel free to do that, too.

Best of Luck! AbbeyMaynard (talk) 04:10, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Deleted passages from Crime in Brazil
Hi Maggiejo. I saw that you deleted large swathes of text and a bunch of images from the Crime in Brazil article. Was that your intention? Gobōnobō + c 00:31, 16 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Gobonobo, That was my intention because a lot of the information in this article was about policing in Brazil so I wrote on the talk page of Law Enforcement in Brazil telling them that they may want that information. Maggiejo10 (talk) 00:53, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
