Benamati, Dennis C. "Government Agencies as Generators of Criminal Justice

Information." Criminal Justice Information: How to Find It, How to Use It. Phoenix, AZ: Oryx,
1998. 142-44. Print.
This section of this book covers Federal Law enforcement. It is broken up into sections
and talks about the different agencies. It covers the department of justice and the Treasury
Department and different agencies that go along with them including the FBI, DEA, INS, USMS,
ATF, IRS, USSS, and the CIA. It goes into detail with every section and discusses what each
agency is responsible for. It also covers State, County, and City Level Law Enforcement.
This is a perfect source for me to gather information on what my future career could be. It
covers the area where I want to work in the future. I want to work in Federal Law Enforcement
and I think that reading through the different agencies in this chapter really helped. I want to
work for a federal agency, but I have not picked out an exact one. Learning about these agencies

in depth gave me a better understanding of which one I will want to pursue. This chapter has
narrowed down what I want to get into with my future career.

I found this video helpful and informative. I found it informative because the things that
were covered in this video I have never thought about. Professor Ben Straight said that people
should not go into this major thinking about money. He explained that this major is for people
who want to help others and serve them. I never thought about and considered some of the things
that went along with a career in this field like the long hours, stress, fatigue, and physical fitness.
All these things were mentioned in the video and were talked about how they would be part of
your regular life. I had never thought and considered what my life would be like outside of a
career in this field.

This video is credible because of who posted it. Professor Ben Straight is a Tampa
professor and has been teaching undergraduate, graduate, and legal studies online for nine years.
He has online college courses and is a published author. He has experience in criminal justice
from being in prosecution, family law, and criminal defense.

The information on this website is incedingly helpful to me. It can give me an answer on
just about everything I have thought about so far. This is a great source to use when I look up
things about my major and the path to take and what to expect. I was completely surprised on
how much I learned and everything available to me and other students on this website. It has
links about specific topics like what I can do with a degree in criminal justice, the prerequisites I
should take, and the different career options.

This chapter talked about the routes you can take to find a career in criminal justice. The
chapter explained how and where to find all the information to choose your course of study. It
talked about the universities and institutions where you could study and the programs in them.
Other things that were in the chapter were jobs and internships that you could apply to. In the

Tyulyu 5
chapter, you also read about other students experiences and how they navigated through the
criminal justice programs and their experiences.

This chapter is relevant to my inquiry topic because it gives me a lot of information on

pursuing a career in criminal justice. The chapter gives examples of real life students and how
they navigated through courses and programs in criminal justice to get to where they want to be.
This also gave me a lot of helpful tips and information like websites I can look at and
courses/programs I can research. I think this chapter was very helpful and gave me more
information than I expected.
