Positive
Growth Trend
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the attacks of September
11 will increase the demand for police as well as other jobs in
criminal justice. That makes this a great time to consider criminal
justice programs. Another benefit of criminal justice jobs is the
fact that employer-provided benefits are typically better among
state and local government employees than among private sector workers.
Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Labor predicts that by 2010,
the demand for FBI Officers, Police Officers, Private Detectives,
U.S. Customs Agents and those in other professional criminal justice
jobs will grow by more than 29%.
A
criminal justice education will prepare you for a career in the
following areas:
Local level law enforcement:
Park police

Forensic Science
Forensic science (often shortened to forensics)
is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions
of interest to the legal system. This may be in relation to a crime
or to a civil action.
A
forensic scientist is first a scientist. When he applies his scientific
knowledge to assist juries, attorneys, and judges in understanding
science, he is a forensic scientist. Forensic scientists are thinkers,
good with details, good with putting pieces of a puzzle together,
and curious. Some scientists work in laboratories and some also
go out to places where crimes are committed (crime scenes). Others
teach in colleges and universities.
There
are six general areas of forensic science.
· medical examiner,
· crime laboratory analyst,
· crime scene examiner,
· forensic engineer
· academic assistance - psychology
· technical assistance
