Dream Job: Non-Profit Organization For Criminal Justice

When I first started college, my academic goals were to learn as much as possible, join a Christian fellowship, get into the criminal justice program, decide whether or not to go to graduate school, and to graduate in four years. In addition, to also to either get a job or get accepted into an internship. My overall goal was to enjoy and make the most out of my college experience. My career goals back when I was a freshman, were to figure out if I want to join law enforcement or go to law school and find a job in the field of criminal justice, while being happy working the job. Over the course of two years, some of those goals have been achieved and some goals have been changed.

Another component of the Criminal Justice system is corrections. One of the jobs that the correction has is a parole agent. The goal for a parole agent is to protect the public. The responsibility for a parole agent is to assist ex- offenders so that they can adjust to life in a save and free community. They are also responsible to prevent future criminal acts. They help the people become a better person so that they can have a productive and normal live. Parole agents supervise the offenders who had been released from prison. (Careers in criminal, 2006)

If I were to go into a career in the criminal justice field, I would look into the juvenile justice system. One opportunity to work in the juvenile justice system would be a resident youth worker. This job includes providing safety, security, custodial care, discipline, and guidance to kids who are being held in the facility. A resident youth worker also plays a critical role in the rehabilitation of youth and, therefore, can have a great impact on a juveniles success during and after their incarceration.

Due to unforeseen events, the household income for the family was depleted to the poverty level of $24,600. Due to my interests, I decided to work for a non-profit organization that focuses on education reform and decided to participate in more pro-bono work to be able to increase my experience as a lawyer. I was fired from my previous education reform lawyer position due to layoffs and having just started working at the company, I was an obvious choice. The firm that my wife worked for fired her, and she is currently looking for a job. Since she is a social worker and has a degree in sociology, it is difficult to find jobs that match her interests and pay well enough. As one can imagine, a non-profit organization lawyer does not make as

I enjoy doing community service and helping others. I have the knowledge and ability to help those who are in major need in a life changing event like a natural disaster; plus I give back a lot with smaller less major

The role of the criminal justice profession is to protect and to serve our society by enforcing the laws that govern us. Those that take the responsibility to defend justice and to uphold the laws that govern us without prejudice are depended on and respected. Our system of criminal justice focuses on the definitions, causes and prevention of crime, along with a legal process that tries to implement methods of treatment and rehabilitation to offenders.The criminal justice system suggests that drug offenders receive treatment through a variety of options, such as sending nonviolent offenders to treatment and using the treatment as a condition of incarceration, probation, or release.

Over the past several years, I have volunteered my time with the Independence Youth Court. It is a diversion court where minors may be arraigned or tried for misdemeanor offenses. As a volunteer, it is my duty to represent these minors as their lawyer or deliberate on their sentences as a judge or the court. As I have volunteered with Youth Court, I have learned that my passion is in law. As I donate my time volunteering with this organization, I am learning more about being a lawyer and a judge while also helping the children of my community. My time with this amazing charity will continue to impact my life as I continue into college to study law and as I become an attorney.

Working with the Capital Area Teen Court Program, I represent local teens convicted of minor crimes. The experience has been cathartic. I learn about my clients' lives and passions, and I stand in a courtroom and defend them before a jury of peers. Volunteering as an attorney has improved my communication skills and prepared me for a future in appellate law where I hope to use the legal system to help the voiceless. I want to become a lawyer and one day, I hope to sit on the Supreme Court as an advocate for those who cannot help

The profession I have chosen in the Police & Law Enforcement category of criminal justice is a Drug Enforcement Administration agent. This job requires dealing with all major drug offenders, such as drug trafficking and major drug trades. DEA agents work for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and their mission is to eliminate the use and sale of drugs in the United States.

A not-for-profit organization responsible for the provision of leisure services would be Boys & Girls Club. This is an organization that truly holds up the values of being a not-for-profit organization. Their mission is "To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens" (Boys & Girls Clubs of America, 2013). With a mission such as this it is obvious that this is an organization that is about the youth and enabling them to grow as individuals.

I want a major in Criminal Justice/Science. You have to know what the major requires, what the major is about, the mission and the career. This major tell you about how to care, help, and to protect one another.It will cost me a lot of money.

Our solution is to develop a specialized not-for profit advocacy group, which focuses on policy change and bridging the gap between local government, non-profits, and the federal government. Furthermore, we will fill the void within these entities with additional resources. Our group will be composed of a full-time paid staff, a board of specialized individuals (ex. Lawyers, professors, government officials), and a network of community volunteers. Our staff will handle the day-to-day operations necessary for an efficiently run business, while our board of specialized individuals will donate their time/services for tasks outside the capabilities of staff members (on an as needed basis). The group of community volunteers will be a tremendous asset to the advocacy group, by providing services to those facing hardship from unemployment. Regardless of a person’s position, paid or unpaid, each member of our advocacy group will work as partners of the organization. It will function as a democratic body, as opposed to the bureaucratic structure mostly seen in government and nonprofit agencies.

Realizing the career that would be right for me. Would likely be a private/criminal investigator. Seeing that I am motivated and committed for a job like this it can become a widely problem-solving, communicational career for me. I’m willing to use my skills to help others in need in the criminal field. Pursuing this career it would allow me to always have something exciting happen daily and always be on my toes. Therefore, this is something that interests me a lot and I know it would be fun for me. As a private investigator, it requires much of schooling, ways to make sure you are a problem solver,and helping people with their cases of criminals and more that can get away from the trouble they had caused.

The criminal justice system has so many areas that interest me. The area that interests me the most is homicide. The reason being is because growing up I use to watch TV shows such as the first 48, Law and Order, and New York City Undercover. These TV shows showed how the criminal justice system works. Some of these shows accurately tell stories of homicide and how law enforcment officers handle the case. I have always been interested in becoming a homicide detective simply so that I can help victims and their family has justice. I feel like the death of a loved one or friend is even harder to deal with when the person who murdered them is still walking the streets. I hope to one day show people that even though the

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.
