Please do some research before committing to this major.  Since the tv show CSI the number of people studying the field has saturated the market.  You will be in debt with no ability to get a job.

Depends on the subject. You can do it in two years, you can do it in four years. But before you begin, you'd better get used to using your spell checker, because when it comes to writing papers and theses, you're going to get hit hard for careless mistakes like the ones you made. \n\n(No, I'm not nagging, just stating a fact. It's easier to begin doing it now so it gets to be a habit. Master and PhD work is extremely picky.)

You can do that, but it's not a double major.  The master's in law will have to follow the bachelor's.  As long as the master's is not getting a law degree designed for the bar exam, the whole run should take about 6-7 years so yes, it is longer and more expensive than a 4 year bachelors degree. A master's in anything is more advantageous than a bachelor's alone.  Be sure the two degrees complement each other though. I'm not sure how criminal justice and business law relate in the job market.

I did my degree in Classics and Music with the OU and it worked out about £3000-£3500 over the course of the whole degree.  They do offer financial support towards course fees to those in receipt of low incomes.\n\nHere is a link to the information about Criminology courses:\n\nhttp://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/classifications/law_and_criminology-criminology.shtm

If you want to go to the crime scene and collect evidence, you'd pretty much need to become a police officer and major in criminal justice.\n\nIf you want to work in the lab and analyze the data, you'd want to major in forensic chemistry (usually offered as a separate chemistry major, sometimes with a biology department)\n\nIf you want to do autopsies, you need to go for your M.D.\n\nNo job will have you do everything, probably because it's inefficient to have an M.D. doing all that work AND there is a conflict of interest. (It's easier to prosecute if 5 independant people analyze the evidence)

Actually you are on to something.  Forensics as an academic field of study is actually relatively new.  In many of the sub-disciplines one starts with a general major (IT) and then gradually becomes more specialized.  What frustrates many of us in academia is that (1) the original model of forensics appears to have been one of specialists - PhD/Professional degree required.  Now kids are under the impression thanks to TV shows that you can get in with an undergraduate degree!  (2) Because of this misconception, quite a few places are trying to accomodate it!  This drives some faculty crazy, but I come from an interdisciplinary perspective and think it's a great opportunity for students to view things more holistic perspective.\n\nThe grad school issue won't be going away, however.  In fact, with so many students brainwashed by the tube into thinking there must be detective jobs all over the place, you now have LOTS of competition and in the academic marketplace (outside of troubling state regulations) that means two things: increasing GPA requirements and higher degree levels to attain to get the job.  Be prepared to work hard to beat the competition to the best spots!

You would probably need a four year degree at least.  However, you should do some research and contact different parole organizations and see what their minimun requirements are.

I'm quite sure exactly how long but one of my professors is working on his PhD from Cambridge and lived there for I think 1-2 yrs and he is now teaching at Mcmaster University while he works on his PhD research so I guess it takes as long as it takes you to get the research done. Sorry for the lack of specifics but I'm not sure if there is any. Good Luck in the UK if you end up going I've been considering going as well but to get my masters.

hi! me again, different universities and tech schools require different classes in their particular curriculum. most will require understanding the processes of the police, the courts and corrections. in addition, you will probably take forensic courses, evidence courses, investigation courses and basic law courses. then if you continue for a masters, you will be taking more advanced research classes ans so on...any help, let me know, i put my email address on the other one, but here it is again. kuhner_us@yahoo.com

A medical examiner is a physician.  After 4 years of med school, you need to finish a 4 year pathology residency and then a fellowship in forensic pathology (I think it is 1 year, may be 2).  For more info check out the website for the National Association of Medical Examiners at www.thename.org/  .

go to college and get your teaching degree.  If you go for a masters, it will take about 5 year.  During that time,  Prove that you have paid your debt to society and keep out of trouble.  Become active in your church and build good references.
