Comments[edit source]

Hey I found a potentially useful article for you to use. Heres the link http://eprints.qut.edu.au/1070/1/dwyer1.pdf but just in case it doesn't work the article is called Sex Crime Recidivism: Evaluation of a Sexual Offender Treatment Program by Robert Schweitzer and Jonathan Dwyer (2003). If you chose to use this article it can be referenced as Hartig, T., Mang, M., & Evans, G. (1991). Restorative Effects of Natural Environment Experiences. Environment And Behavior, 23(1), 3-26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0013916591231001 and in-text citation is (Hartig, Mang, & Evans, 1991) cheers U3141229 (discusscontribs) 12:29, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==
