Website Review

This website was very interesting, apart from being very helpful and giving a lot of information it was almost fun to learn from and easy to navigate. This website is very effective, accurate and very credible.
This website, created by the Drug Policy Alliance Network (DPA) is extremely effective and incredibly easy to find the information that you need and/or are looking for. Also another reason this website is great is because it is visually appealing, it engrosses the reader and it doesn't bore you so that you can't concentrate on what you are doing. Another thing that really helps out and makes it good is that it is edited well, it's not to hard to read. It's written at an average reading level.
The DPA website is very accurate, probably one of the most accurate related to this topic. It has all current and tangible information and it tries to inform you on everything, by different sections, from what kind of drugs are out on the streets to how bad our war on drugs is failing. Which is the section that was brought up upon reaching this topic. Even though it presents all type of information from all angles it does have its bias side, for example the section "What's Wrong With the Drug War?," it kind of leans towards the side that the war on drug has failed and the America should stop spending so much money on it.
The website, DPA is very accurate and credible. This is because this website was created by a very well known organization and very knowledgeable about the topic. Although it is believed that it's updated every month if not everyday there was no proof found. But at the home page of the DPS website there are links that will take you to what is called "Todays Highlights." As mentioned before the whole website is not bias, but there are some sections that are bias.
In conclusion, the DPA website has all the great qualities that a great research website should have. It is fun, informative and easy to read.
