Experience Necessary: Criminal Justice Internships
Statistical data shows that the large majority of criminal justice majors go on to work in related fields, making a good use of their education and on-the-job training experience. Thus, internships and real-world career experience are important elements of criminal justice and criminology programs.
Most students do not complete master’s programs because their training within bachelor’s programs are quite comprehensive. According to The College Majors Handbook “more than three-quarters of criminal justice graduates participate in a training session of some type.”
Many criminal justice degree grads go on to work within the government in protective service jobs. They might be police, parole or court officers, security or prison guards, special agents or detectives. Some go on to higher-tier (and higher-paying) managerial or supervising positions with many stepping into the field of social work.
Most criminal justice and criminology graduates, in order to be successful once on the job, need to learn such job-specific skills as proper gun use, legal report writing and dealing with different types of people. Extra training might also cover proper crime scene response, investigative techniques, new equipment training and could involve shadowing an officer or investigator. Other training may involve, being a part of crime prevention initiatives or participating in forensics demonstrations.
Communication skills are also important; graduates are likely to eventually find themselves speaking to criminals, victims, witnesses, attorneys, the media, other officers and departments, etc. An ability to convey ideas verbally and on paper is important, and as a result, according to The College Majors Handbook, “more than 1 in 3 majors undertake training designed to improve writing or public speaking skills.”
There are salary rewards for those who participate in extra, on-the-job training programs. In addition, criminal justice or criminology program majors who take advantage of these opportunities get to experience life as a professional and build their resume.
