Chapter 16 goes on to list forms of evidence and descriptions of each. How I interpreted it based on the fact that there is first hand evidence and second hand evidence is that you have to be somehow directly involved with your evidence. The evidence that would most contribute to my writing projects would probably be observations, interviews, online sources, and library sources. When I mention observations it doesn’t necessarily mean that I will be observing profilers, it is observing how the media (if there is anything related in the news at the moment) portrays profilers. Hopefully, I’ll be able to interview a profiler through my department. I would like to get their perspective on the negative media towards them since the Washington shootings. The online and library sources will be used to research information from past news stories and events involving profilers, as well as information on the profession itself.
