With empirically-based, research-focused information on how students can prepare for and ultimately join the criminal justice or criminology workforce, it covers the positions available in criminal justice and criminology, how to get a job in the fields, and what can be expected upon obtaining employment. The book contextualizes career opportunities within criminal justice and criminology, providing information about the nature of the work and how various positions fit within the criminal justice system as a whole. Part I provides an overview including a history of careers, job opportunities, and nature of working in the field. The second part addresses preparation for entering the field, including coverage of internships and overall professional development. The final part of the book addresses careers in the primary components of the criminal justice system, juvenile justice, and other areas. An epilogue addresses promotion issues, and a series of helpful appendices provide practical tools for working toward a career in criminal justice or criminology. This book is suitable for any reader considering employment in the criminal justice or criminology, and ideal for instructors who supervise and guide students as they gain practical experience and move toward careers"--
