Criminal Justice Career

I am currently a senior this year and will be graduating at the end of May with the Class of 2016. I will be attending Dixie State University this Fall 2016. My intended major is Criminal Justice with emphasis in Corrections. I have always been interested in the Criminal Justice system, the way they use evidence to solve hard cases and how much Criminal Justice can make a difference to society. I also want to take that knowledge and bring it back to my community to help improve the Criminal Justice system on the Navajo Reservation including other neighboring different tribes. We have all seen the imperfect police officers and how they treat other ethnic groups or people who are in need, I want to show people that not all police officers are

A criminal justice degree is an academic program that studies criminal behaviors in relation to law enforcement, communities and the legal and court systems. Students learn about crime prevention methods and that agencies that promote safety and lawful behavior.

Criminal justice provides such a wide variety of subjects that finding a job in the industry is relatively easy it also affords criminal justice students a wide leeway when they are searching for jobs. Criminal justice degree jobs can range from law enforcement to the judicial arena, allowing students to pick and choose how much education they wish to fulfill over the course of their lives. Many choose to go the law route and spend a few more years in law school to become defense attorneys while others realize they can use their criminal justice degree in the courthouse without a J.D. by simply becoming a court reporter, court coordinator, clerk, or bailiff. While these jobs all require experience, it’s not as demanding as becoming a defense

The career I am going to be pursuing is criminal justice. I am going to apply for the border patrol, an opportunity that one of my fellow law enforcement officials has pointed out to me. As far as my interest in the career, I have had an interest in becoming a police officer for a long time. This has been my career interest since I was eight, thanks to my cousin who is now a detective for Minnesota. My target goal is to one day become a detective for the Detroit or for the Federal Government. This career is not only the career that I have passion for but I feel myself exceeding in the field.

When I was a kid I always loved the rush and adrenaline from doing something that counted on me to make the best decision. This is one of the reasons I would like to go into the Criminal Justice field. I’ve been watching shows like Criminal Minds, Lie to Me, Flash Point and many more. My mom is in that field so I ask her questions to see what it takes to be a part of it.

Following my high school graduation I plan to study accounting and criminal justice. After looking at many colleges that aren't too far from home, I found that the University of North Texas and Texas Christian University offer good programs for both of these studies. Although I haven't made a final decision on which university I will attend, I know that they both offer adequate academic and extracurricular opportunities.

I agree with you, there are many field within the criminal justice profession. I’ve also seen many new civilian jobs enter the profession as well. We have civilian analysts and computer programmers that assist with our intel led policing programs. We also have civilians that work with our investigators and their sole mission is to research suspect’s social media sites and provides this information to the investigators. I believe this is consistent with you statement about human resources changing with the times and having to tailor the employee to the ever changing job. When we first started using computers to research and build cases, we would send the investigators to training. Over the years we realized this training was constantly being

I would like to express my interest in the Investigator Level 1 position at the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB). My enthusiasm for public interest, particularly addressing criminal justice issues, has motivated me to pursue career opportunities in research and law. Although my most recent roles did not turn out as I expected, I gained transferable skills and learned that I could build my public service career in a field besides law, like public administration. I believe that my prior work experience and interest in policy and inspection and oversight related to criminal justice make me an ideal candidate to join CCRB’s investigative staff.

I would strongly recommend that there be ongoing ethical training to be utilized during my criminal justice career. I do not think this can be visited too often. I think coming up with new and realistic scenarios that are worked through as a group could help strengthen everyone’s knowledge on how to handle the issues that can come up at that agency.

According to one recent study, around 5% of the GDP goes on crime control. In spite of these measures, the crime in the last few years has increased. A number of studies have indicated that crime prevention can considerably cut down on offences as well as costs. High-tech crimes are a new kind of white-collar crimes that can be one single event or constant and usually involve the theft of information, resources, or funds. Organization is very important to any establishment, professional or otherwise. Organization is what keeps things running smoothly and proficiently, so that the main job, in this case law enforcement, can be accomplished without the added hassle and confusion that being unorganized always inevitably brings.

The world is changing quite quickly, and the need for social workers is going to increase over the next few years. The changing policies are coming faster than those who it effects can cope with. My hope with a degree from the Wayne State University social work program is to increase the opportunity for success and safety in adolescent populations in urban communities.

I am interested to hear about your past in Criminal Justice, because I am a Military Policeman with retirement only 5 years away. Some of the skillsets that I think could benefit us is our ability to build rapport with people fast and having to tell that facts to people in situations that are not always glamorous. It is best for people to understand what they will face next, in plain straight forward discussions about disclosure and client patient confidentiality.

When I was little I received a telescope for Christmas and it had specimen collection boxes. I would always go around the house and collect “evidence” from the floor. I would also go around creating science labs because I loved science and still do. I decided to become a forensic science major seeming how I love science and I enjoy collecting evidence.

Starting from being a certified nursing assistant, to becoming a unit secretary for a hospital that specialize in wound care, I have always known that I wanted to help individuals in need. However, I noticed that I was not happy with helping individuals in medical need. It wasn’t until I decided to continue my education that I introduced to the world of social work. Going up with a single mother that suffered from drug abuse, my family depended on social services for a lot of assistance, from everything such as food stamps to family counseling. This life experience helped guide my thoughts on pursuing social work as a career. I know that I want to help individuals that are down on their luck, but I want to take it one step farther, by providing individual counseling to adults that may need more one on one time, than what is normally given from a social service agency. Counseling will also give me a chance to do what I love most and that is to talk and get to know the individuals that I am helping make like changing decisions. Working as a clinical social work has my interest because it does not put limits on what I can do or who I can help, and it will set me up for my future goal of becoming a licensed clinical social worker. Being my own boss and changing my community is my dream job, opportunity and goal. I am currently on my way with changing my community and living my dream, because I am currently working for a non-profit

A criminal career is defined according to the (NAS) US National Academy of Sciences Panel on Criminal Career Research, as a “longitudinal sequence of crimes that have been committed by individual offenders.” ( Schmalleger pg. 199)
