Article Critique
For this assignment, choose a peer-reviewed article to critique related to homeland security and law enforcement, or choose an objective from this unit to search for your article. Use the databases within the Waldorf Online Library or use another source that contains peer-reviewed articles.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing articles that contribute to the industry. The authors of these articles are researchers and professionals who have shared or experimented with ideas that demonstrate potential to improve the industry. As a professional in the industry, it is in your best interest to review the literature and trends.
This provides you with the opportunity to read about what was successful and how it was accomplished. Plus, it allows you to analyze what was unsuccessful, how you can improve it, or at least how you can avoid repeating the mistakes of others.
Use these skills to contribute to research papers and other scholarly writings. If you have not already, hopefully, you will contribute to the industry by publishing an article and sharing with your community of peers. As you read the article you choose for this assignment, consider the following questions: How could the topic of this article apply to your personal or professional life?
