the criminology and criminal justice network
New website helps find Criminal Justice Degree Programs
http://careersincriminaljustice.net
From site:
A degree in criminal justice can lead you down a path to working in law enforcement or the government. Most people working in criminal justice have at least a bachelor’s degree, while high ranking officials almost always possess a masters degree. The criminal justice field has become widely popular due to television shows that chronicle an unrealistic yet exciting angle for working in law enforcement. It can be an exciting field, but you should also consider long hours, exhausting cases that go nowhere and working with uncooperative suspects and witnesses.
Studying for a degree in criminal justice, you will learn the technicalities of the law, communication skills, analytical and problem solving skills, and public policy. You will also learn criminology theories and how the criminal justice system works. There is a lot to learn when obtaining a criminal justice degree. You must be open-minded and fair when learning new material that may look at things from a different perspective. Currently criminal justice is focusing on computer security and technology. Those skilled to work in security utilizing the latest technology will have many more job opportunities than those without the tech skills.

Dear Thomas,
I read your post on Crimspace which vividly explained the need to embrace Criminal Justice as a career. Please how may you assist me to achieve my dream of becoming a popular and unbiased Criminologist?
I am a student of National Open University of Nigeria, www.nou.edu.ng, department of Criminology and Security studies. My aim of choosing Criminology as a course of discipline is to join hundreds of activists working with law enforcement agencies to further launch a must-win fight against corruption, especially in Nigeria.
My limited access to online resources is one of the barriers I am currently faced but I am trusting God to provide me with a Laptop; to be able to stay glued to the amazing resources offered by Crimspace and other networks that share common interest with my aspiration. I need Print materials(text books, CD/DVD) to enhance my knowledge and experience.
Please kindly consider my request as I implore you to visit www.transparencyng.com. You can as well contact me via mat4twins@yahoo.com +234 703 903 4002. Thanks, Mathew Nwokwu, Lagos Nigeria.
