Reference Article Evaluation
The reference article from infoplease.dictionary.com seems to be a reliable source. Infoplease.dictionary.com is a valid and reliable website to use because it is affiliated with Pearson Education and I know first hand what a good reliable company they are. The website has a copyright of 2000-2009 so I know that it is fairly up to date. I do not see a particular author who wrote the reference article, which is the only thing that makes me feel on edge about using it in my paper.

Book Evaluation
Victor L. Streib's book, The Juvenile Death Penalty Today, is a very credible source because Streib is a very credible man. He is a Professor of Law at the University of Northern Ohio is a attorney specializing in violent crime and the death penalty. The book is a little on the older side, being published in the year of 1987 by the Indiana University Press, but most of the information is still up to date when its comes to juveniles and capital crimes.

Periodical Article Evaluation
The periodical article from Jstor titled, The Juvenile Death Penalty and International Law, written by Curtis Bradley, is a very credible source of information simply becasue of where it came from. I have never had any problems with any articles from Jstor. The article was written in late 2002 which means that the information is very trust-worthy and accurate. Anything that comes from Jstor seems to be very credible.

Web Site Evaluation
A website I used is called 'policyalmanac.org and I typed in 'life in prison without possibility of release. The excerpt was from Juveniles and the Death Penalty--Coordinating Council on Juvenile Delinquency Prevention-November 2000. This website has solid information about my topic, and it all seems to be on point. It does not say whether its updated frequently but all the information current from at least the year 2000.
