I want to be sure I get a good job with excellent pay, so I am looking for some insight and help with this decision. I wanted sociology, but was told that wasn’t such a good idea. Plus, what kinds of jobs within those fields would I be able to go for?

Cathie

I want to be a Probation or Parole Officer but is two years enough?

Marilynn

Which one would be better in the long run? I like the idea of criminal justice more but the only thing I would want to be from it is a Police Officer which I can’t for medical reason.

What is the real reason for having a degree in Criminal Justice if you still have to go through the academy?

Have you ever heard of a way for someone to become a police officer without going through the academy?
I’m asking because I am sick of those commercials pushing people to get a degree in criminal justice. Why spend 4 years in college getting the degree when you could become a cop right now and let them pay for your school if you decide to get a degree later?

Lina

like the question asks, what was the criminal justice system like in the victorian times?

thanks

or does it simply teach our juveniles they can get away with their bad behavior?

I would like to become a detective in the future and right now I’m in my 1st year of college. If you have to become an officer for many years till you become a detective, is it really necessary for me to even get a Masters in Criminal Justice? I would like to really further my education, but does it matter in the field I want to be in to have that Masters degree?
