Graduates of criminology courses can seek employment in a range of positions across the risk, security, intelligence, and justice and counter-terrorism sectors, and may also work in academic research, or for a body like the Law Reform Commission.
You may work as an analyst or researcher, and perform tasks like conducting research, interpreting data, cataloguing and analysing surveillance information, and contributing to publications and policy documents. You may also work as a case manager, where you’ll work closely with vulnerable clients to design and monitor specific interventions for managing that person’s behaviour and circumstances. Or, you might work in an educative role, providing training and facilitation to law enforcement officials on topics like human behaviour, psychology, drug and alcohol problems and community attitudes to crime. Day-to-day, you may be required to conduct research and interviews, collate and write reports, and present evidence and advice to relevant bodies.
You may also choose to work in policy development or analysis, the education sector, or in a training role with law enforcement officials, working closely with key stakeholders to share your knowledge of criminal justice and human behaviour in order to influence decision-making.
