General info

Lead

Guiding questions:

  • Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? --The introductory sentence of the lead is a very concise and clear opening that clarifies what is the main topic of the article. It clearly specifies what criminal psychology is, thus giving a central idea of what the entire article is about.
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? --There is a content table that contains the different themes of the article, but the lead doesn't have a description of the different sections to be discussed in it. It contains a very complete explanation of what is related to criminal psychology and how these psychologists participate in the legal arena, but it does not include which are the other sections of the article.
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? --No, I consider the lead is a general description or introduction that later on the other sections will be explained with more detail.
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? --It is very concise and specific, it goes straight to the point. Maybe it could include a little bit of information (as an introduction) of each article section.
