Criminology Personal Statement

My future career goal is to become a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Bethel University’s Master in Criminal Justice program is a perfect fit for me, as It allows me to continue my education while maintaining a full-time career. I sought a program that was flexible with my shift work, and I was impressed by the accreditations and educational philosophy. The courses offered in this program will help me grow as a professional and advance in my

My mother has always asked me what I wanted to be when I get older. For so many years I was not able not able to answer this question. She is not the only one that have asked me this question. I have found that this question has become to be common to many of us. On the other hand, after working for fifteen years as a security officer, I know exactly what I want to do with my life. I want to further my education and skills to pursue my career. I have chosen Criminal Justice as my choice of studies. I have already obtained an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice from Ashworth University. My intention is to continue to go to college and obtain a bachelor degree in this field and work hard in order to gain as much information as I can. I am a

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to study Criminology, the idea of gaining a deeper understanding of crimes, the causes and the impact that this has on society is truly fascinating. I’ve always been curious about the way the mind works. Personally, I am most excited about looking at the different aspects of criminal behaviour and how the legal system differs depending on these differences.

Also, I like helping people out and by becoming an investigator I will be able to bring criminals to justice and help out the victims of a crime. Lastly, I want to become a CI because it's the type of job where you will be active most of the time and almost never bored. Some of the education that is needed to become a criminal investigator are associates or bachelor's degree which isn't needed all the time but it gives you a better chance to get the job than someone without it so it is recommended that you get it. Also, it would help if you take some classes such as psychology or

As one of the newer fields of social science, criminal justice began as a study that took from sociology. “Critics thought that criminal justice was based on a weak empirical and theoretical foundation, and that it had nothing to offer which was not already available through some established discipline, principally sociology or the law” (Clear, 2001). Over years, criminal justice has begun to make a name for it. Today, many colleges and universities offer bachelors, masters and PhD programs for those pursuing degrees in criminal justice. For some, criminal justice may be seen as just a study for those wanting careers in law enforcement, although the field is also able to prepare its students for research related to crime and the reasons why

Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was privileged to attended some of the best public schools in the nation. I am blessed to have been born into a family that provided me with the resources necessary to become successful. Although no journey ever goes as planned, my experiences have led me to believe that I am destined for great things. I hope that my journey towards success will continue by being accepted into the Masters of Arts in Criminal Justice program at Mount Mercy University for the Fall of 2018. My decision to study Criminal Justice can be traced back to the day I discovered the importance of the events that have shaped me into the young woman that I am today.

I get asked, on a regular basis: “Why the big jump? Why go for a second bachelors after I had already finished one bachelors?” “Of all the bachelors I could have picked to be my second focus, why criminal justice?” My answer is simple: I want to be part of my daughter’s and others safety. The more I read, learn, and research about the different areas of criminal justice, the more excited I get with what the future might bring.

I am a criminal justice and sociology student as well as a mathematics student. I am passionate about Criminal Justice since my dream is to become a police officer. I was born in California but was raised in Chicago. Since a young age, I always wanted to become a police officer. I grew up in a single-parent household with my mom.

The criminal justice program focuses on studying and controlling crimes, along with preventing them. Receiving a degree in criminal justice is something I truly aim for. I have always admired local police officers, lawyers, and judges for all that they do to keep the community safe. Unfortunately, life has not been handed to me on a silver platter, therefore I encourage myself to work

I have been taking critical fundamental classes towards earning my bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice for four years now. During this time I have learned a great deal about criminal justice; based on the scientific study of crime by focusing on its history, causes and consequences of crime as well as the responses of the criminal justice system to crime, criminals, and the victim of theses crimes. Inside of the justice system I also have gotten acquainted with the substantive criminal law that defines criminal behavior by analyzing the general principles of criminal liability. Similarly, with examining American courts decisions to interpret the ruling and doctrines. Together with, many other informative courses such as, theories of crime

When I started high school, I hadn't the slightest clue of what I wanted to study in university. It wasn't until eleventh grade that I found my deep interest in the field of criminal justice, through a criminal behaviour unit within my psychology and sociology class. I began watching documentaries revolving around high profile crime investigations, and I decided I wanted to study this all the time. I wanted to learn about cases, how evidence is recovered, how criminals are put behind bars and the aftershocks of their crimes. I want to go into the field of justice to make the world better, and safer.

Originally I had planned to go to Waldorf University and major in criminal justice to become a police officer. I saw many two faced/unreasonable officers throughout my years of growing up that I wanted to do something different. I remember hearing about the cases on tv and thinking, hey, I can make a difference. I wanted to become a police officer to show people that not

The academic program of study I selected was criminal justice because I always had a dream of being becoming a lawyer. Also my family member and friends used to tell me I would be a great lawyer because I like to prove my point. I have always wanted to my make way up to become a lawyer. I would start small as a probation officer, go to police or FBI academy then finally I will become a lawyer after I work in most of those forces and gain the experience first. Some of my career goals will be to meet my program requirements at Goodwin College for an associate degree in criminal justice.

I want to go into criminal justice because I feel it is wrong that not everyone has an equal chance at success and with my education I want to help people make the most out of the life they were given. My beliefs were reinforced

My dream career is to be a criminologist. My interest sparked when I became interested in the mind and human behavior ever since grade school. Criminology is the study of crimes, effects, and social impact on society. Criminologist job is to observe the behavior of criminals and seek out why the crime was committed, this is in order to reduce the rate of future criminal behavior. Their job duties also include writing research paper and articles. This is a job that I feel that I will pursue because of my love for writing and also my desire to better our society. There are many different jobs you can have as a criminologist. There are specific ones such as a profiling. Profiling is when you spend most of your job as a criminologist looking into old cases, which will help you with your current criminal. As a profiler when you gather your new information you then identify the crime trend and motive behind specific crimes.Profiling is the job that I would like to do as a criminologist. Another job that criminologist can have research and academia. Many criminologists dedicate their time to being strictly researchers.
