CRJU 3521: Drugs, Alcohol, and Crime

We all know there is a wealth of information available on the Internet.  The problem with searching for information on the Internet is that we don't always know where it comes from and whether or not it is authoritative.  It is important to be selective and to evaluate the information you find online.  

Apply the CRAAP Test  with each website you visit, especially those you plan on using in your paper or project. 

A domain name suffix (the last letters of a web address), reveal a lot about the type of website. Here are a few common domain name suffixes:

 .com - Commercial

 .org - Non-profit

 .gov - Government website

 .edu - Educational

*Note: Other countries use specific domain names. For example sites that end in .ca are Canada, and sites that end in .au are from Australia.
