    CAREERS IN CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY 1

    Abstract

    Criminal psychology provides a variety of future career fields that have become increasingly

    popular in Minnesota. However, before entering a job in criminal psychology, many expectations

    must first be met. Among other challenges, those interested in the career must complete an

    undergraduate psychology program, pass the EPPP and PRE exams, and maintain a psychologist

    license. Aside from the educational aspect, those with interest in this career should expect to

    regularly use critical thinking and reasoning and should feel comfortable in tense situations.

    After all certifications are complete, a criminal psychologist will enter a career field full of

    11,000 job opportunities and should expect to make an average of $83,000 annually. As of now,

    the field consists of around 1,500 criminal psychologists and is expected to grow by 14 percent

    in the coming decade. Ultimately, criminal psychologists help further an understanding of

    criminal behavior within communities and work to minimize crime.
