hey! if you pursue a masters degree, and look into internships and jobs in the criminal justice industry, you should be able to pursue a job in that sector. good luck!
hii, just a curiosity.. what if I want to become a Criminal Profiler? What do I have to study? Are Criminal Profilers even allowed to analyze the crime scene?? I would like to do the same job of the 2 special agents of Mindhunter, but I'm really confused on what to study.
hi! here is a really good description of what a criminal profiler is: www.thebalancecareers.com/criminal-profiling-career-information-974482 what you need to become a criminal profiler: www.indeed.com/recruitment/c/info/what-is-a-profiler and a good definition/resource: "The criminal profiling process is defined by the FBI as a technique used to identify the perpetrator of a violent crime by identifying the personality and behavioral characteristics of the offender based upon an analysis of the crime committed." "The process generally involves (1) evaluation of the criminal act itself, (2) comprehensive evaluation of the specifics of the crime scene(s), (3) comprehensive analysis of the victim, and (4) evaluation of preliminary police reports. Additional steps are (5) evaluation of the medical examiner's autopsy protocol, (6) development of a profile with critical offender characteristics, and (7) investigative suggestions predicated on construction of the profile. Criminal profiling is particularly useful in hostage negotiation, and identification of writers of threatening letters, rapists, arsonists, and sexual murderers[...]. Criminal profilers at the FBI may also provide interrogation and interview techniques, establish probable cause for search warrants, and provide testimony as expert witnesses. Criminal profiling is not a substitute for skilled detective work; but it is a tool that the detective can use to help solve a violent crime" (quote from here: www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/criminal-profiling-viable-investigative-tool-against-violent-crime) i recommend reaching out to universities that you'd like to go to, ask them about their programs and ask if you can get in touch with a professor that can provide you with more information about this career 💛 as always take my advice with a grain of salt. i hope this helps💕
I'm currently in 12th grade arts and i wish to study criminology and sociology joint degree for my UG. can you suggest some best universities to study the same.Thankyou
Hey Mujeeb ~The best college depends on the state you'd like to live in, and your budget. It would be hard to advise you where to go without knowing your needs first. I advise that you take a look at this link (study.com/articles/Best_Undergraduate_Criminology_Programs_List_of_Top_Schools.html ) It'll help you guide you in the right direction. I recommend that you do lots of research or maybe speak to some career counselors at your high school, or even your parents before deciding which college you want to go to. You can even contact/email some of these universities directly and they would always be happy to tell you more about their degrees. Hope this helps! 💙
Hey ...I love you video I wanna ask some questions I am a law students right now in Nigeria but I wanna become a criminologist,so I wanna do a masters on criminology abroad and find my ways round it( or what do you advise) thanks in advance
I am graduating in December with a bachelors in criminal justice and a minor in sociology. I am in between becoming a criminologist or a paralegal. I am considering going to graduate school but if I do what would I need to get my masters in if I choose a criminologist? And where do you recommend I try to find an entry level job at for starting a criminologist career?
Hey! From research I would suggest that doing a Masters in Criminology or Criminal Justice. That would give you the chance to apply to a broad array of jobs in that field. For example with a Criminology/Criminal Justice Masters Degree you could also be a Criminal Law Paralegal as well as a Criminologist. For a paralegal specifically I've read that a certificate in paralegal studies from a program approved by the American Bar Association would help increase your chance of employment. Also an internship with a legal attorney (that specializes in criminal law) would also help as well. And for Criminologist internships. This website provides a GREAT list of places to look: www.ccsu.edu/criminology/internships.html But please take my advice with a grain of salt and also maybe talk to some of your university professors to see what advice they can give you as well. Helpful links: (please read them they also provide tons of helpful advice) criminology: - www.criminaljustice.com/online-degrees/masters-in-criminology/ - www.excite.com/education/criminal-justice/careers/how-to-become-a-criminologist paralegal: - online.maryville.edu/online-bachelors-degrees/criminal-justice/careers/can-you-become-a-paralegal-with-a-criminal-justice-degree/ - www.excite.com/education/careers/how-to-become-a-paralegal Hope this helps!
Hi! I am a senior in high school and planning on majoring in criminal justice. I want to become a criminologist! I was planning on minoring in psychology as well as majoring in criminal justice. Do you think I should minor in sociology instead? Also, did you like majoring in criminal justice?
i think in the us it’s a little easier to become a police officer - im not sure if many of them need a degree 🥲 you’d have to confirm with Google though
A criminal background does not bar you from working in the field. I had a university criminology professor who served 7 years in federal prison. In fact a criminal background and a degree is actually an advantage
Oluwatemilorun, well done! I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Great job! Please keep it up. This to me is the beginning of much more insightful content that you would share with us.

Hey ...I love you video
I wanna ask some questions
I am a law students right now in Nigeria but I wanna become a criminologist,so I wanna do a masters on criminology abroad and find my ways round it( or what do you advise) thanks in advance
Hi! I recommend that you visit this website ~ it should help you get started :) www.criminaljustice.com/online-degrees/masters-in-criminology/
I am graduating in December with a bachelors in criminal justice and a minor in sociology. I am in between becoming a criminologist or a paralegal.

Hi! I am a senior in high school and planning on majoring in criminal justice. I want to become a criminologist! I was planning on minoring in psychology as well as majoring in criminal justice. Do you think I should minor in sociology instead? Also, did you like majoring in criminal justice?
in your country do criminologists go into becoming police officers? or do they have their own function and job?
i think in the us it’s a little easier to become a police officer - im not sure if many of them need a degree 🥲 you’d have to confirm with Google though
A criminal background does not bar you from working in the field. I had a university criminology professor who served 7 years in federal prison. In fact a criminal background and a degree is actually an advantage
Oh okay that’s great to hear!
You are too not everyone understands the way you speak. Please can you slow down a bit?
Very educative and really clarifies fiction from facts.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I think it is a good thing that TV shows don't show the truth about this field. That way true criminals will not know how crimes are solved
Also, If you have any video suggestions or would like me to make a video on a certain topic please let me know! I'm aways open to suggestions!
Oluwatemilorun, well done! I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Great job! Please keep it up. This to me is the beginning of much more insightful content that you would share with us.

i like your video most people get criminologist and criminology mixed up
thanks! I’m glad I could clarify ~ that’s one the reasons why I made this video. I just wanted to clarify the many misconceptions snd misunderstandings around this topic.
May I ask u what the difference is?
This is really helpful thankyou!
Can you do a video exactly like this but for criminal profiling career?? 😅
hey! i did this for a school project, i'm not sure if i'll be making another like this... sorry :(
hello! I am from the Philippines and am currently doing a research about criminologist licensure examination. I am wondering whether there is also a licensure examination in the country you live in?
hey! im not sure ~ i can look into it and get back to you! i also recommend that you do some research too!
I have a history of mental health can I be a criminologist?
of course! mental illness shouldn't inhibit your ability to work ~ as long as your getting medical and therapeutic help. you'll be okay
is a criminal justice major okay too? and could i work at a local police department instead of the FBI?
hey! yes that’s a good major! of course you can work at a police department ~ a criminologist can work in a variety of departments and places. refer to here for more details :) www.snhu.edu/about-us/newsroom/social-sciences/what-can-you-do-with-a-criminology-degree
hiii, being criminologists is a job for college graduated?
hey! if its something that you're passionate about then of course! if you're curious about income and job sustainability, this link might help :)

Hello young lady, please talk gently so that I can understand you. You are a Nigerian I don't expect you to talk very fast like the whites
