Article Critique Essay  - The Police Manager 5th Edition Ronald G Lynch

Guide to Researched Article Critiques

A simple guide to writing an article review, which is also referred to as an article critique.

The first paragraph is the introduction to the article critique. It should provide a summary of the article highlights. The summary should discuss the most important details.

Following the brief summary of the article, you will need to explain why the article is significant. Questions you should consider when writing these paragraphs include:

- Does the article fill a void within the literature that already exists on the topic?

- Does the article contain information that is new and be considered as an informational "breakthrough"?

- Will the information within the article be instrumental in the field to change other people and their ideas about the subject or does it revisit information in the field?

In the first paragraphs, you will need to present your personal evaluation of the article, including the following:

- Is the article well written and clear?

- Do you agree or disagree with the article findings, and why?

- Consider whether or not information was missing and should have been included. Include your observations and opinions of what is needed.

- Focus on telling what the article was about. Your review should reflect your personal opinions as well as how it affects you or the field in which it was written.

In the body of your paper, you review the article. The objective of this paper / article is to review the article.

A conclusion concludes the essay, reviews key strengths and weaknesses of the article, looks at possible policy implications of the article, and includes your own thoughts and insights.

Share your opinions and experience. This will always enlarge on your presentation and demonstrate learning and understanding of the subject as it relates to real-world situations.

Cite your references. Preferably, include a copy of the original article, or the link to the article.

Edit your article critiques. Particular attention must be given to spelling, grammar and overall writing skills. Make note of any spelling and grammatical errors while reading the critique. Take a break and then read your critique once more to verify no errors are remaining.
