Peer Review

Hey, I read through your article and overall, I think it is well written. I do have two possible suggestions though. You mentioned that Allen Locke was killed by police after attending a Native Lives Matter event. Would it be possible to incorporate the Native Lives Matter movement information into your article, perhaps as a section on the reaction/response from the Native American community? Secondly, I feel like there is an error in the following sentence: "Native American women are admitted to prison at 4 times the rate of white men, and women are admitted at 6 times the rate." Is the sentence supposed to read "Native American men are admitted to prison at 4 times the rate of white men, and women are admitted at 6 times the rate." I wasn't quite sure but that was what I thought the sentence was supposed to say. Cpsouthworth (talk) 03:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article Peer Review

Hey, I read through your edits to the Police brutality against Native Americans article and I think it is good overall and is an important topic as it is not often covered. I think the section on effects could greatly benefit from some referenced opinions on the topic rather than just the statistics. Also the statistic that Native American youth make up 70% of youth committed to the Federal Bureau Prisons, is a little lower than what I found on the site referenced. I think an expansion on that statistic would greatly improve the section as that is really an incredibly high rate compared to other groups. The lead section is good in that it provides a clear summary with statistics without being persuasive. Hunterbrownfl (talk) 20:31, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
