Frank Schmalleger Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction: Eight Edition
Upper Saddle River, New Jersey Prentice Hall 2010
The book is a very updated book, on the most recent laws. The book a very informative piece, and is not at all one sided. The book just simply states the facts of all the laws that are currently popular, and in use. It is a very accurate book, and will be a good recourse to use when referring to laws, bills, and acts.
Reference Article
Constitution
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Constitution
The reference article is a great use for the definition of Constitution. It is a Dictionary Definition, and will help me describe the base of the constitution. The reference article;e also has links to help describe bills, rights, and the Patriot Act. It is a very good dictionary to help describe information in my paper.

Judge Rules Part of Patriot Act Unconstitutional
This is a very valid source coming from NBC. It is all very valid information, and is a very powerful source. It is using a example of how the Patriot Act might seem Unconstitutional. It is a documented court case, and therefore, is a legit source. It will help to prove a point, by using an example from real life.

Patriot Act Unconstitutional
This is a good website because it has information from local people. The article is full of detail, and explains everything very well. It is a well written detailed Articile that is full of powerful thoughts and information.
Book: For the book evaluation, I would agree with him on his points. One, it is a timely resource and therefore valuable still. It is most definitely not biased.
ReplyDeleteReference: this is a great evaluation of the source for his research question.
Periodical article: My only issue with this eval is whether it is actually non-biased because it is coming from a national news source, who are rarely unbiased.
Website: My same concern as above, with the information coming from a tabloid or newspaper, is the information completely unbiased. the Examiner is a type of online news wiki source, and is written from author's own viewpoint.
