The future of criminal justice is not in homicides or robberies, but rather in white collar and international organized crime. The New York Times reported earlier this week, that the FBI does not have enough agents to investigate and file for prosecution of all the white collar crime they are encountering. They are in need of more agents, especially with the recent economic crisis.
This week in Maryland, at the Economic Crime Conference , the featured speaker
Alice Fisher, former assistant attorney general, criminal division, U.S. Department of Justice stated, "international organized crime provides support to terrorists targeting the U.S. Motivated by power and money, the groups use various methods of economic crime and fraud to garner funds".
Therefore students looking for the future jobs in criminal justice should have a strong foundation in the working function and process of the criminal justice system with a bachelors degree, and then advance their education with an Executive Masters in Economic Crime Management from Utica College, the only college in the country with the Economic Crime Institute.
Whether you want to work for the FBI, or big business and degree complimented in both criminal justice and economic crime management would put you ahead of all other applicants for any career.
