Fantastic work! Really interesting topic. I thought that maybe inserting some quotes from people, perhaps somebody who was seeking the death penalty or who has a strong opinion on death penalty, could be inserted into your page as a little extra something? I used some on my page if you're interested at all, with a little text both with " _____ " and who the author/person was... all you would need to do is copy and paste my text boxes to your chapter with your own information inserted. --Maddkilby (discusscontribs) 11:59, 19 October 2019 (UTC)Reply


Reading your topic development so far was really interesting especially the public opinion of the death penalty. Not as severe as the death penalty, our text book explains that corporal punishments gain immediate compliance but come with multiple negative consequences. Reeve page 106 has some interesting facts about punishers, you may like to read for interest/ or add. Thanks for the informative read, you've completed so much!! --Brynn Courtney (discusscontribs) 10:19, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Found the information on your page very interesting, particularly around wrongful executions and what influence on the opinion have previous experience of being a victim of a crime and fear of crime. --210.185.116.216 (discuss) 02:47, 19 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

This is a really well-done topic. Firstly I would suggest maybe including under see also the link to the Wikipedia page on the death penalty as it provides some areas that may have not been in this topic due to relevancy. I also found it interesting that there is such a disparity in the use of the death penalty in the USA, I was curious however is public opinion reflective of this use and what would be the reason behind that i.e as white people are more in support of the death penalty is the higher death penalty rate in the South due to a higher white population in those areas. --Haylzw (discusscontribs) 09:38, 19 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi! This topic is very interesting and i look forward to reading it when you are done. I found a debate about whether or not we should have the death penalty in Australia, that you may want to add to your external links. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deeBammob9w Hope this helps!

Title and sub-title

edit
  1. Excellent

User page

edit
  1. Created, with description about self and link to book chapter

  1. Excellent

Section headings

Key points

edit
  1. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations.
  2. Overview - probably don't need very general info such as "What is motivation?" - maybe a very brief description with an internal wiki link to a relevant Wikipedia article or book chapter
  3. History - maybe also include culture - i.e., DPM varies over time and across culture, and between individuals. Perhaps combine this section with Contemporary use.
  4. Theories - again, briefly summarise theories with links to further info to allow the section to concentrate on the relevance to DPM. Perhaps move this section to follow the public opinion section - i.e., describe the phenomenon and then explain relevant theory and research.
  5. Are there any longitudinal studies of attitudes/motivations for DP over time. And are there any experimental studies which have attempted to manipulate potential influences of DP attitude/motivation?
  6. US or USA - be consistent
  7. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  8. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. I wonder whether they are emotional motivators for supporting (e.g., fear, revenge, schadenfreude) and opposing (e.g., empathy, compassion) the DP.
  3. Did you directly consult Maslow (1943)? If not, this should be a secondary citation.
  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the chapter is very well written.
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long (e.g., the last paragraph). Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  2. Learning features
    1. Interwiki links are well used in the Overview, but not subsequently.
    2. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links.
    3. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters would help to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    4. Basic use of images.
    5. Good use of tables.
    6. Basic use of feature boxes.
    7. No use of quizzes.
    8. Basic use of case studies or examples.
  3. Grammar
    1. Check correct formatting for abbreviations such as e.g., i.e.., etc..
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
    3. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
  4. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour; fulfillment vs. fulfilment).
  5. APA style
    1. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
    2. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    3. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    4. References use correct APA style.
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
  1. ~5 logged, useful, substantial social contributions with direct links to evidence
