  1. If you think criminology graduates only revolve around crime cases and court systems, you are thinking at the wrong track. The criminology careers are so wide that criminologists can also work on their personal research, become educators in universities, work on law and sociology or even legal studies. In addition, the scope is widened as state and federal agencies of certain countries are also hiring criminologists to be policy advisers and research officers. Even in private institutions criminologists may not be jobless, they can work as consultants to discuss issues such as adult corrections, juvenile justice, law reform and crime statistics.
