Reviewing the Adler University mission statement as it relates to my chosen industry there are many ways to incorporate the vision of Alfred Adler. Studying Criminology is developing a process to engage members of the community in which they live to show an active interest in the happenings of their community. Although, being a socially responsible member of society is voluntary; it is going above and beyond. Promoting the idea that it is better to be proactive towards the problem rather than reactive.

The investigation of crime, society’s reaction to it and approaches to prevent it are all areas that have interested me from my adolescent years. I have an interest and passion for Criminology studies for the strict purpose of wanting to fulfill a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of crime and exploring how crimes affect our society. This shady interest in the criminal world has encouraged me to pursue the subject at degree level and to seriously consider a career in a related field. At the beginning of the course my understanding on crime and criminology was mostly derived from the internet or media. These tools became very useful for me to learn different subjects of crime.

Before enrolling into Hilbert College, I was unaware of what career I wanted to pursue. After completing two criminal justice courses during my time in high school, it was clear that criminal justice was the perfect field for me. Taking a plethora of criminal justice courses in college, I became captivated by the different criminological theories. This influenced my goal to one day become a criminologist, in order to continue researching why an individual commits a crime, and its impact on society. After achieving my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, I am now ready to continue my learning and achieve a Master of Science in Criminal justice Administration degree.

Reminiscent of the 1980s based considerations historically demonstrating criminological sophistication, Earl Richard Quinney is most noted for his look at crime among the wealthy or elite classes, most predominantly as white-collar crime. Quinney was born in small town rural Wisconsin in 1934 to first generation Irish immigrants. Quinney spent his youth completely in rural Wisconsin, graduating from Delevan High School. He life to this point, revolved around small farm-town living, where populist political culture dominated the landscape. During this time he developed significant skill as a writer for his high school newspaper, and this led him to later attend Carroll College, a small liberal arts institution in Waukesha, Wisconsin where he was elected as student body president (Mutchnick et al., 1990). Quinney aspired to join the Forest Service, as well as medicine, where he considered synthesizing biological science with sociology with a career in medical administration. After a brief, unpleasurable, working stint upon graduation from Carroll College, Quinney attended graduate school at Northwestern University in Illinois where he wrote his master’s thesis on “Urbanization and the Scale of Society under the guidance of criminology scholars Kimball Young and William Byron. Not long after, Quinney went on to receive his post-graduate degree from his home state institution the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1962. The road to achieving his post-graduate degree
