Careers in Criminology

According to The Good Universities Guide, criminologists examine the systems by which people accused of crimes are brought to justice, attempt to explain the reasons for criminal behaviour and suggest ways crime might be reduced.

Criminologists perform the following tasks:

• Study the ways certain criminal justice agencies operate, including the law courts, police services, prisons and community-based correction centres
• Provide information about crime and the ways in which people are processed by the criminal justice system
• Compile crime statistics and develop ways in which crime solving resources can be best used.

Criminologists may specialise in organisational research, victimology, corporate crime, adult corrections and/or juvenile justice. They may work in the legal field, which tries to make sure that laws keep up with changes in society. They may also work in the social/psychological fields, which study the effects of the criminal justice system or the factors which contribute to offending behaviour by individuals.

What type of person becomes a criminologist?

• Someone who has analytical ability
• Someone with personal integrity
• Someone interested in welfare and human behaviour
• Someone interested in working with disadvantaged youth

A useful website to browse through and find out more is the Australian Institute of Criminology.

The Australian Space Discovery Centre is inspiring the future workforce to sustain and grow our national space industry, with a goal to triple the size of the sector to create 20,000 new Australian jobs by 2030. Space is a multidisciplinary domain and needs all sorts of skillsets and types of people.

“There’s much more to a career in space than being an astronaut. There are many exciting career paths to follow right here on Earth. Space law, medicine, design and manufacturing, robotics and data analysis. We need a range of skills to support our space sector.”
