what's the pirpose of criminology?

[edit] Last citation question

After going through and footnoting all of the sources, there was one that I didn't want to touch. The (Woodworth & Porter, 2002) citation is still in there, because in the original reference (which is now included in the References section), the copyright date is 2001, not 2002, as it says in the parenthetical citation.

Can the author of this article confirm that these two sources are the same? Thanks. John Pouliot 00:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge and POV Fork

Isn't this article a POV fork of FBI method of profiling? Shouldn't the content just be included in that article instead, and this one deleted? BuddingJournalist 05:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Yea, that sounds right.John Pouliot 15:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Both articles sorely need rewrites as well.John Pouliot 22:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, I went ahead and did the merge, and added a prod proposal to this one. All content is now under a "Criticism" section. But you're right, it definitely needs a complete overhaul. Should this talk page be merged too, to preserve its contents? BuddingJournalist 07:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
