Most people with a bachelor in criminal justice become police officers. But I have a friend that is planning on going into the fbi, (which is hot). I'm sure you could also go to law school and become a lawyer with that degree as well. Also, you could probably become a probation officer.

Yes, that is not a job that has any restrictions on felonies/misdemenor or anything of the sort. However, your employer might not like it if you are a sex offender or drug lord, right? Thats up to your employer.

I have a BA in Criminal Justice and my wife a BS in psycology with a masters in social work.  My degree has made very little difference in my life because I chose a path of self employment.  In her life it means everything for the work she does.\n\nHere is one thing I want to point out though; if you stop at a BA/BS degree the difference in career choices will be minor.  If you plan on a career in mental health or counseling you will need advanced degrees and licenses.  Good luck.

There are lots of opportunities for lawyers. It really depends on what you want to do. Do you want to prosecute criminals or defend criminals? If you want to prosecute, you need to work for the District Attorney, Attorney General or US Dept of Justice. If you want to defend criminals, you can work for the Public Defender's Office or you can work for a criminal defense firm. If you enjoy corporate dealings, you could work for any number of corporations around the country. You could work for any number of law firms that deal in any number of areas of law. Finally, you could open your own law firm and do whatever you want. \n\nFor more info, check out the source links.

You should certainly check that out; I understand that many ex-convicts have obtained law degrees and made careers in the legal field, as lawyers, private investigators, parole officers, sometimes even as cops.  Restrictions vary by state.  Your felony conviction will remain on your record (as you know) but it is not necessarily an impediment.  Good luck.

If you're smart enough to think about college, you should be resourceful enough to know how to find out what colleges offer criminal justice courses and majors.\n\nMost famous one is John Jay in New York - look around to get more.

You may want to discuss this with the probation office you wishto work for.  In many areas they look for social science or social work degrees as much if not more than a criminal justice degree.\n\nAnd normally for a state probaton officer you are going to have about 400 applications for any one opening,  and over 1/2 of those will be from working police or correctional officers.\n\nThey see probation or parole often as a promotion or desk job where they get to work M to F .\n\nSo while you may meet requirements at a AA but if you don't have a BS or BA not much of a chnace for it

Absolutely.  They do not do  criminla back ground check for law school.  My godfather got a DUI and spent two years in prison for drugs.  He got out, cleaned up his act, ended up at Georgetown and make a killing as a lawyer now.  You will have to work a little harder to overcome this but it is not the end of the world!  Good luck in you quest.  Wish you the best!

you need to have a bachelors...doesn't matter in what.  I found that political science as a major was helpful.  Criminal justice also would be very helpful.  There is no specific program to follow...you can have a bachelors in gym, they don't really care....unless you are applying to a super competitive school like Harvard or something.  Have a good GPA, then apply and get accepted to law school.  Then it will be 2-3 years and you will have a juris doctor. Then you have to pass the bar, and you can practice law.
