What is the difference between Forensic Science and Criminology?

I really love looking into criminal's cases, deaths, abductions, etc. However, I know, or I seem to understand, that Forensic Science is a branch of either Criminology or Criminal Justice. I would appreciate if someone would help explain if I can only do one or the other or if I can work for both? #criminology #criminal-justice #forensic-science

As a criminal profiler, do you get fulfillment and joy from your job?

I am interested in pursuing a career in criminal profiling, however I know the burnout rates in a job such as this could be high. I have spent a lot of time researching this profession, but I wasn't able to find many answers about the emotional aspect of it. And the little exposure I have had through the media does not go into detail regarding the emotional impact of this profession. I want to know if this job is worth pursuing or is the emotional toll attached to it too great? #criminalprofiling #burnout #criminal-justice #criminology #law-enforcement

What is the difference between a Crime Scene Investigator and a Crime Scene Technician?

I am trying to narrow in on the kind of job that I really want, but I do not want to accidentally make the wrong choice. I want to gather and analyze evidence, investigate the scene, interact with witnesses, etc. Which job should I focus on if I want to follow through with these specific objectives? #criminal-justice #crime-scene-investigation #criminology

How do you become a Crime Scene Technician?

I have been trying to figure out the real steps to becoming part of the Criminal Justice area, but I would really like to focus on gathering evidence, investigation, etc. However, I do not want to go on the path of a patrol/police officer in order to obtain this job. Is there a path I can take without becoming an officer, but still becoming a Crime Scene Technician? #crime-scene-investigation #criminal-justice #law-enforcement #csi #criminology

I wonder if I made the right choice on my major

I always wanted to be a forensic scientist, so i wanted to major in Criminal Psychology. But once i started looking into the kind of job I wanted, I changed to Business with a minor in Criminal Psychology. It is the biggest decision I have made in my life. #college #college-major #academic-advising #business #psychology #criminology #criminal-psychology

I currently have my honours degree in Sociology. What additional subjects I should take to pursue juvenile justice?

I currently have my honours degree in Sociology. To be a juvenile justice officer, I do understand that you need a degree in criminology and would like to know what additional subjects I should take to pursue that. I love working with the youth and trying to make a change in society, hence my decision in Sociology. I have recently however decided I definitely want to work within the police force or even prison. I came across juvenile case manager and juvenile justice officer. I'm not eager to begin another degree and would just like to know what steps I could take next. I have been searching and trying to get information but nothing straight forward.I'm based in South Africa. #sociology #criminology #juvenile-delinquency #juvenile-justice #case-management Thank you!!

I want to work at the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI but I have many questions.

Prepare yourself, I'm a talkative and curious kid. I'm interested in psychology, human behavior, criminology, criminal justice, and criminal profiling basically I want to get into the criminal's minds and make a profile about them and help the police catch them. But I already know that it's not as exciting as TV shows like Criminal Minds potray them to be, so don't worry. What's inside the BAU? How does it operate? Do you get to work on cases to catch a potential serial killer or stop a potentially dangerous person or it's just agents that are qualified enough? Is Quantico a heaven-like college or is it extremly difficult and not many get pass Quantico? How fit are you when you apply to Quantico? Do every agents go out and work on the field or do they to desk jobs? How many cases does the BAU have every year? Are they mostly extremely-distrubing cases? What qualifications do you have to have to apply to Quantico? Is it always exciting and dramatic or is it boring and normal to be in the BAU? Please answer my questions! Please do! #BAU #psychology #fbi #criminal-profiling #criminology #federal-agent #special-agent#law #career-details

If i want to be a lawyer, what should i major in once i get into college?

I'm considering to be a lawyer when I grow up, but I don't really know what to major in once I'm in college. I heard that you're supposed to major in political science and philosophy but I don't know what's it's about. I'm very interested in criminology and criminal justice, just criminals in general. I also think of forensic psychologist and criminal profiler when it comes to my dream jobs, I like to study human behavior too.But from my opinion, a forensic psychologist just take too much studying but not much respect and power ( I'm still a kid so, please don't get offended) and you need to be an FBI agent to be a criminal profiler, It's not that I have something wrong with being an FBI agent but you have to go through Quantico and you have to be extremely fit. And I'm gonna move to America in a few years so about American citizen can only apply to be in Quantico is taken care of but help I'm so confused. #Law #criminal-law #criminal-justice #fbi-agent #psychology #criminology #career-details

Are there only certain forensic scientists that are asked to go crime scenes to investigate and gather data?

I am physically disabled and I enjoy and prefer working in lab settings. I wouldn't be comfortable with going to crime scenes and having to be extra careful with my steps or worrying about how I will help gather evidence if I have to squat or be in positions that are difficult for me to get in. If a large part of this career is being present at the crime scene for evidence collection, I may reconsider my decision. #science #biology #chemistry #criminology #laboratory #detective #crime-scene-investigator #forensic-science
