Crime
is one of the most serious problems faced by modern society. Once thought
of as a simple problem with simple but drastic solutions, it
is now understood
to be highly complex. Modern efforts to control and respond to crime
have utilized expert assistance from a variety of disciplines. These
include Political
Science, Sociology, Psychology, Medicine, Law, History, Philosophy,
Economics, and Computer Science. A career in criminal justice can
be highly rewarding to someone who desires to help society face
one of its more
intractable social and public problems. Employment opportunities
exist at all
levels of government, from police officer to the directorships
of federal agencies.
Careers in criminal justice cover a variety of responsibilities.
These include
law enforcement, investigation, court administration, law, juvenile
and family
services, corrections, and applied research, among others.
