Article Evaluation

the lead article introductory sentence its great, it gives us a brief description of the article major section. All of his content it is relevant to the article. This article has a neutral tone, it doesn't shows the author opinion or anything. They should clarified that APA membership is not a requirement for licensure in any of the 50 states, they even should. This fact should not be confused with APA accreditation of graduate psychology programs and clinical internship. In the section of international they should include the Latin American community. In the part "applied psychology in the United States they should talk more about school psychology and also include a section of this.

Article title

Mentally ill people in United States jails and prisons

Article Evaluation

The lead sentence of this article should contain more information about the article content, it doesn't tell that much about it. The article tone it is neutral, and in this type of article this is important. When we are talking about law topics or situations that happen, most of the authors put their opinions in this type of article. In the lead paragraph they include all the content that they will talk in the article. This article it is complete, but they should put some data that shows how this increase more and more. They should put more information, it could be a potential article, but it need to be improved. This article should include more population, since the United States penal system isn't the only that doesn't work.

Article title

Forensic psychiatry

Article Evaluation

This article doesn't contain the correct lead sentence, it is incomplete. It doesn't contain what you are going to find in the article, it need some work. The article is well organized and it is break down in parts, but that parts need some more information. In this article they should talk more about the principles and practice of forensic psychiatry, and they should talk about the history of forensic psychiatry. In my personal opinion this article can have more information, I feel that it is incomplete, and there is a lot of content that it is missing.
