I am a college student majoring in Criminal Justice. I have an assignment that requires me to interview a criminal justice professional. The questions should focus on areas of crimial law and I am having a hard time composing a list of questions for my interview. What type of questions would you ask a criminal justice professional, centering around criminal law?
I’m planning to major in criminal justice and probably minor in forensic science/investigation. So far I know that you can become a crime analyst and of course become forensic scientist with criminal justice degree. What’s other civilian criminal justice jobs are there?
I am really really interested in joining the FBI to be a special agent, but I’ve heard that that is very hard to get into and that they do whole background checks on your family and everything. I’m a college freshman right now and I’m pretty set on getting a criminal justice and criminology degree. So, what can I do with a criminal justice degree if I don’t get to go into the FBI? I don’t want to be a police officer or anything of that sort. Thanks!
I just watched an episode of Criminal Minds and I found the work EXTREMELY interesting. I was set on becoming a psychiatrist, but now I’m thinking of changing career paths. What different types of jobs are there in criminal justice? Which ones pay the most?
Also, I’m just going into high school next year. What types of courses should I take if I plan on doing this and what will I major in in college?
Thanks so much
I wish to go into crime investigation as a Forensic Scientist, but I am not entirely sure how. Is there any college or program you would recommend? Also, with the economy being as it is, what are some other things I should consider?
I know that UIC is a lot cheaper, plus I live 10 min away. Loyola isn’t to far either. I’d like to stay close to home, that is why I chose these two schools. However, I can’t make a decision. I want to go to the best school for the program that I’m studying: criminal justice and social work. UIC or Loyola? Pros and Cons?
i’m off to college next year and am still debating whether to get my degree in sociology or criminal justice. a degree in CJ now a days is a dime a dozen and i wonder if i get a degree in this field will it hurt my chances of getting hired compared to a degree in sociology? i live in southern california if that’s any help. thanks to all who answered.
I’m to do a project, and I’m drawing a blank…please help!
So i am taking this sociology class and we are studying how many women become strippers in college to pay off loans, rent, etc. My question is doesn’t this affect their chances at getting in to the career they’re majoring in?
For example, criminal justice careers require background checks. Wouldn’t this damage your chances? Or is it something that can be overlooked?
What would happen in the criminal justice system if we sought to prevent decision makers from relying on exchange relations to process cases?
