Criminal Justice Zone

Long story made short.
I am 24. When I was 22 I was charged with a 4th degree felony theft charge. I stole a ring that was worth $13,000, and pawned it.
I have made all restitution, complied with all set forth guidelines, and I have been in no other trouble. I am currently on 2nd year of non reporting supervision. I will be on probation until 3/2008.
My probation officer has been a great friend to me, and he has above and beyond the call of duty for me.
I was a high school drop out when the theft occured and have since completed an on line course to obtain my high school diploma. I am a mother to a little girl and will always teach her right for wrong from now on, and be there for her. I had no one from childhood to adult hood. I want a career in criminal justice so I may guide one to a better life, and from the streets such as my PO did.
I am limited on what positions I could actually hold.
Does anyone out there have any idea of what degrees I could obtain in the CJ feild?

I am going to a community college. The professor want us to do 3 quizzes in class, 9 pages, typed in a midterm, and 9 pages, typed in a final. Always have to talk in front of many people in class. It seems harder than even Chemistry or Physics!

I took a career interest test and I was a 100 percent match for finance/accounting and criminal justice. All other careers were 75% or less. This seems to be right for me. Now my question is which careers in these fields would be a great choice, as far as pay, job demand, and schooling? I am 28 years old and have 2 children if this helps and i am enrolled in a community college. Thank you for your help.

I’m very curious what you guys think. I just finished an assignment for my criminal justice class and I got a lot of mixed emtions from people I spoke with.

What is your opinion… Is the criminal justice system biased? Why, or why not??
What about women? Do you think the system is biased against woemn?
