Article Evaluation[edit]

The article is titled "Anthropological Criminology[1]" which is rated C class. I think the article itself was very relevant to the topic that it pursued up until the point of the "Mugshot and fingerprinting" section by which the author brings in an irrelevant fact about when it was started. It had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the article which completely threw me for a loop. I think the fact may have been more appropriate after the author added the information to the the two previous subheadings which were titled 'History' and 'The Italian School'. The article doesn't make clear it's support or lack there of. It does, however, connect every possible example of old school criminology -phrenology and physiognomy- to any slight modern usage in a rushed manor. There were only two or three references that were listed and the blue links didn't even work when I clicked on them. I don't mean to entirely demolish the authors attempt at the article- but it didn't seem to have any other information included other than the definition and the history. It was a very organized and informational description of what anthropological criminology is and it gave a nice introduction to the 'elders' of criminology, other than that- it was all history based. I believe that after the author adds more to the article, it will be better.
