Our Graduate Success Stories
I chose to attend Herzing because of my family life. I was working a full time job at the time and Herzing provided me the benefits of coming and being able to attend school and being able to work a full time job at the same time.
Criminal Justice
Serving others can lead to a highly respected career.
The criminal justice career field keeps expanding on all levels. A more security-conscious society combined with population growth continues to increase the demand for police services.
In addition, employment of private detectives and investigators is expected to grow 18% over the same period. This increased demand is the result of heightened security concerns, increased litigation and the need to protect confidential information and property of all kinds. The proliferation of criminal activity on the Internet will continue to require more security and investigative professionals. Employee background checks will become standard for an increasing number of jobs. Growing financial activity worldwide will increase the need to control internal and external financial losses, monitor competitors, and investigate industrial spying.
Applicants with military experience or college training will have the best opportunities. Those with a bachelor’s degree and several years of law enforcement or military experience will have the best opportunities for positions in Federal agencies.
Do you have the strong discipline and personality traits needed for criminal justice?
Integrity, honesty and sound judgment play an important role in any criminal justice-related career. Successful professionals in this field have a strong sense of responsibility and are able to control even very tense situations. They are comfortable serving as a role model for their community.
A career in criminal justice could be right for you if you:
- Have good communications and people skills
- Have respect for authority
- Are comfortable working in a highly-structured hierarchy
- Work well under pressure
- Deal well with emotional or difficult situations
- Are physically strong and healthy
