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 may specialise in organisational research, victimology, corporate crime or juvenile justice.
They may work in the legal field, which tries to make sure that laws keep up with changes in society.

 Criminologist
Written examinations are required in a number of states to license criminologists, so check with your local law-enforcement agency for requirements in your state and county.
It is important to note that the opportunity for advancement in this career is limited to the sphere of employment; in other words, if you are hired by a state law enforcement agency, you can rise within that agency, but few move from state agencies to federal agencies, or vice versa.
Criminologists become police officers, FBI agents, and state medical examiners more often than any other careers.

Despite this trend and many years of research by criminologists, there is no uniform definition of what constitutes recidivism, nor is there an accepted methodology to obtain recidivate data.
Due to the ongoing high incidents of recidivism, the juvenile justice system has transitioned into a retributive and incapacitative system due to unrealistic workloads, expectations, and parole programs that do not work.
Therefore, this study will provide an overview of historical and recent research on recidivism, as well as an examination of selected parole programs and their outcomes in reducing recidivism.

Criminologists seem to be able to generate complex hypothesis at the drop of a hat, but precious few of them are willing to step back and say, as Athens did, that brutal criminals act that way because they've been taught to be brutal.
Athens believes that violent crime results from "social retardation," a process whereby an individual who was abused in childhood guides his or her actions by recourse to a "phantom community" of the internalized voices of caregivers and others.
I've met more than a few criminologists at the University where I learned and taught psychology (and where, interestingly, Athens spent a good chunk of his early career), and I was always struck by how little psychology I found in the writings and the lectures of most criminologists.
