Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Criminal Justice - Crime Analysis Option] From California State University

Crime Analysis is a rapidly growing field offering exciting employment opportunities. Increasingly, criminal justice agencies--at the local and state level--are hiring people with advance analytic and technological capabilities. The drive to engage in more proactive, evidence-based policing founded upon sound analysis is a national trend that is unlikely to slow. Courses are organized into several tracks allowing students to specialize in specific analytic techniques (i.e. geographic analysis or network analysis). In addition to research-based instruction, students are offered a range of elective subject areas, from cyber-security to gang prevention strategies, to enhance the practice utility of this program option.
