What Can I Become If I Study Criminal Law
and Criminology?
Introduction
If you're interested in studying criminal law and criminology, you'll need to know what they are
and how they relate to each other. This guide will give you a quick overview of both subjects and
help you decide if either one is right for your future career goals.
Criminal law, also called penal law, contains all the laws
that outline punishments for committing a crime.
Criminal law, also called penal law, contains all the laws that outline punishments for committing
a crime. The two main branches of criminal law are criminal procedure and substantive criminal
law.
● Criminal procedure concerns how charges are brought against suspects. It also deals
with bail hearings, plea bargaining and sentencing guidelines.
● Substantive criminal law covers topics like theft, murder and manslaughter; assault; drug
trafficking; fraud; terrorism (including treason); sexual offenses such as rape or child
molestation/molestation; armed robbery/robbery at gunpoint/gunpoint robbery etc.;
domestic violence (domestic abuse) etc..
Criminology is the study of crime. Criminologists are
interested in how people become criminals and what can
be done to prevent crime.
Criminology is the study of crime. Criminologists are interested in how people become criminals
and what can be done to prevent crime. The field includes many subfields (e.g., criminal law,
juvenile delinquency, victimization), but it also encompasses other fields such as sociology,
psychology and anthropology. Criminologists may work in a variety of settings including
academia and government agencies.
Studying criminal law and criminology will give you a
good background for working in fields that deal with
criminal justice.
Studying criminal law and criminology will give you a good background for working in fields that
deal with criminal justice.
Criminology is the scientific study of crime, its causes and consequences, who commits the
crimes, why they commit them and how they can be prevented. Criminologists attempt to
answer these questions by using various methods like research studies on crime rates or
interviews with people involved in criminal activity through surveys such as victimization surveys
which measures things such as how many times someone was victimized by an offender during
their lifetime. Criminal law deals with the legal aspects of crimes including sentencing policy
(how long someone should serve in prison), bail policies (whether someone should be released
before trial) etc...
Criminal lawyers work with clients who have been
charged with committing some type of crime.
If you're interested in becoming a criminal lawyer, it's important to know that not all lawyers work
with clients who have been charged with committing some form of crime. Instead, some lawyers
work with clients who have been charged with crimes but haven't been found guilty yet. These
types of cases are called pre-trial hearings and can last for months or even years before being
resolved.
If you want to become an expert on criminal law and criminology, then becoming a defense
attorney may be right for you!
Criminologists help law enforcement agencies in their
efforts to fight crime.
Criminologists help law enforcement agencies in their efforts to fight crime. They can do this by
studying the causes of criminal behavior, as well as ways to prevent it. A criminologist may also
work with the police force and give advice on how best to handle a particular situation.
Law graduates typically have skills such as critical
analysis and problem-solving, which can be applied to
many careers.
As you can see, law is a very broad field. There are many different jobs that you can do and the
kind of work that you choose will depend on your interests and skills. For example, some law
graduates become criminal lawyers while others may want to work in government or the private
sector as lawyers or lobbyists.
Some fields with strong ties to criminal law include:
● Law enforcement — Police officers, sheriff's deputies, prison guards and other
correctional officers perform investigative duties related to crime prevention (e.g.,
investigating violent crimes). They also manage jails and prisons within their jurisdiction
where inmates reside during incarceration periods; coordinate activities among police
departments across state lines; conduct investigations into serious crimes such as
murder/manslaughter charges against suspects who have not yet been charged but
have confessed under interrogation by police detectives if necessary; enforce laws
against drug trafficking so that illegal drugs don't make it onto our streets leading citizens
down paths toward addiction which could lead them away from productive lives if left
unchecked for too long."
Conclusion
We hope that this article has given you a better understanding of what it means to study criminal
law and criminology. We know that there are many different careers available, but we also
believe that having an interest in this field will help you be successful in whatever career path
you choose. So don't wait until after graduation—start today!
