Some Proposed Changes[edit]

Hello, I am employed by Boston University's Fineman & Pappas Law Libraries. After reviewing this Wikipedia page, I believe that information from one of our faculty's scholarship might provide a valuable addition to this page. I would appreciate it if this requested edit could be reviewed.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Add citation for definition of evidence-based legislation: ^[1]

Add following sentences to expand on definition: Evidence-based legislation depends on evidence gathering, qualitative and quantitative data analyses, stakeholder assessments, expert input, cost-benefit analyses, continued monitoring and equation, etc.^[2]

Done With some very minor alterations here and there to fit with the existing wording. @Cf2022: Because there's a considerable backlog at of requested edits (see CAT:EDITREQU), I think that there should be a way for this to be done without adding further backlog. Most of your recent additions only require minor adjustments. I'll bring this back up to WP:COIN. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:59, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Scope and Context[edit]

Can we add sections to discuss how Evidence-based legislation fits into the overall landscape of legislation drafting practices? It would be helpful to compare and contrast EBL with other legislative practices and methodologies. Myclob (talk) 12:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overemphasis on Origin[edit]

The article focuses too much on the origin of the term (in the context of sex offender legislation) and could instead benefit from a broader exploration of how EBL is applied across different legislative contexts. Currently, it reads so that it sounds like only sex offenders or their defenders, support it. Myclob (talk) 12:35, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
