Criminal Justice Personal Statement

Also, I have been a volunteer in the community and have worked with people from all walks of life. I am certain this has played a role in my educational path as well as my course of study.

This field allows hands on interaction with all different situations and come across different people. I pride myself in being one of the few American-Indians interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. I have done research on Rutgers, and it makes me content to know that Rutgers offers such programs that allow transfer students like me to relocate at ease. Also, I have learned that Rutgers is both energetic and prominent not only to the fabric of the nation, but worldwide as well. Due to the selection of courses and to the diversity of the student body and faculty, I know that I will be vastly enriched culturally, socially and educationally. I look forward to face the new challenges in my life after graduating Hudson County Community College to university and becoming a student at this highly accredited

The major I will be pursuing is Criminal Justice with Pre-Law classes. My main academic goal is to become the best in my class and to learn complex strategies that the justice field offers. The reason why I want to pursue these academic goals is that I seek change in this world and I believe that I can help make it a better place. I would be able to use these courses to impact other lives. Basically, I want to question the nature of authority and understand who and how someone might be chosen to be in a position of authority. I believe there should always be a system for redress, a way to appeal, within the court

Please accept this personal statement as a part of my application for the doctoral program in criminal justice starting the fall semester of 2016. The University of Southern Mississippi is my ideal location for the achievement of a doctoral degree. I would like to demonstrate my knowledge, experience, and research ability in the field of criminal justice and correctional studies. Having majored in the discipline as a former graduate student, I want to further my education to assist and promote future changes in criminal justice and correctional policy. I am looking forward to the opportunities your program has to offer and I believe my background and perspective in criminal justice will help enrich the program, as well.

As a child, I always wanted a career enforcing the law. Weather it was with the police department or criminal justice was undecided at that time. As I grew older I pulled more to the fence of criminal justice. Simply because I do not like the way the system is set up.

Coming into Westfield I was convince that criminal justice was the major for me. Starting off my freshmen year I took an intro to criminal justice class and it was that class that made me realized criminal justice wasn’t for me. Once I dropped criminal justice I became undeclared I kept taking class in different area studies to see if I enjoyed any type of major. It was hard on me at first because I struggled so much trying to find a major that I truly thought was good for me.

During the course of my undergraduate work I spent a good deal of time considering exactly what I wished to do after I received my Associate of Arts degree in Criminal Justice and my Bachelor of Science degree in Justice Studies. Ever since I was a child I have had an interest in law enforcement in some way or another. Having spent a good deal of my childhood fishing and hiking I was always interested in environmental conservation, so with that in mind I always had an interest in becoming a game warden or a forest ranger. As time has gone on I still hold on to the ideas and the ideals that I held when I was younger, but now I also would consider a career in a federal law enforcement organization such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), or the like. Ultimately I

My interest in criminal justice goes back to when I was child. Growing up in the South Bronx seeing my people getting arrested for petty or serious crime, not only inspire me to help my community but to help make the criminal justice system better for everyone. I know that John Jay College will be the school to enhance my knowledge in justice and crime. I remember taking SAT pre classes in John Jay College when I was I high school. Looking at the classroom seeing the professor engage with the students and the diversity in the student body helped md understand that this is the environment I want to be a part of.

I am applying to Sacramento State University for admission to the Master’s program in Criminal Justice. I am particularly interested in Criminological Theory, Law Adjudication, and Administration of Justice. My interest in helping others, especially in the community in which I live in, goes back to when I started school. This interest has only grown through my years in high school and college. Having volunteered and participated in internships with various law enforcement agencies, I have been exposed to the dynamic elements of criminal justice.

Nevertheless, over the last few years, several circumstances around the country has drawn me to believe that the criminal justice system is some ways broken and in need of reformation. I believe that the knowledge I attain from Walden University and the Criminal Justice Program will allow me to gain a greater

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always dreamed about working in the field of law. Growing up my favorite TV shows were and still is “The First 48” and “Criminal Minds”. Both shows portray investigating, administration, and problem-solving, which are three components I will be assisting in my career. The last three years I’ve attended Tennessee State University, I’ve came to the conclusion that my major being “Criminal Justice” is meant for my life. Of course Criminal Justice is a broad topic with various occupations and skills you’ll have to select and understand. The list of duties, responsibilities, salary, employment change & outlook in the next year, unemployment rate, and education in the field are essentials one needs to be successful

I recently graduated, with highest honors, in December of 2016 with my AS in Criminal Justice and I am currently enrolled in the Bachelors program for Criminal Justice as well. I plan on transferring to Florida State University over the summer to finish my Bachelors in Criminology there. I have always loved helping others and what better way to help than to take an oath to serve and protect them as a law enforcement officer. My mom showed me that there is no such thing as a "man's job" and that entering a male dominated field is nothing to be afraid of. I hope to ultimately work as a federal law enforcement officer in the FBI.

I majored in criminal justice at Prairie View A&M University with a minor in communications being that this was my major I learned about the ins and out of the justice systems I have also learned about the key aspects of repeated offenders, rehabilitation and ethical decision making. Some of my life experiences include being a recent intern for a college bound program I lived with students and worked with people of all ages and monitored about seventy students who all came from different backgrounds and some who had special needs. This was a challenging stressful job that I worked around the clock and would be called in for medical emergencies or escalated incidents regarding students, having to handle and asses’ problems. People skills that I have been a customer services representative at Honda I help customers with issues on accounts and make sure they are making the best decision regarding their account and car. Also, skills that I have include leading a team of people I was the President of the Blackstone Pre-law society in college and we did social and justice work within our community as well as Vice President of the debate team and we would debate current topics and social

In the spring of 2018, I will receive my degree from University of Minnesota Duluth in Criminology with a minor in business. I have developed a strong foundation in quantitative and analytical problem solving through my studies in business,
