Five strategies for establishing credibility
Count how many times the author does any of the following/Does the author do this well?
- Claim authority 6/yes
- Borrows authority 17-19/kind of
- Establishes common ground 1/yes
- Discloses motives 1/kind of

What is your assessment of the author’s attempt to establish credibility?
Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor/Terrible
The author relies mostly on personal experience and opinion, especially their background as a
long-serving policeman, to persuade readers. However, the article lacks proper supporting
research or evidence presented in APA citing format. Therefore, in my opinion, the article's
reliability is moderate-fair due to the unpersuasive source of information and one-way
communication.
