FEEDBACK for report
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
1. Clear.
2. Detailed Implications (talking about crime – investment and
costs)
3. Recent References
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
1. Had many paragraphs.
2. Too many GRAPHS - Sometimes a reference is enough to
substantiate a claim, you don’t always need graphs.
3. Didn’t include a general analysis of the factors that were not
included (e.g. in the case of a PESTLE, we didn’t give a
detailed analysis on ‘TLE’ but we could have given a general
overview on them).
