Hi Destiny!
You my read more books on human Behaviour (Psychology/Cognitive Science) to show insights of how to make use of clues.
Forensic studies is broad and involves scientific (biological, chemical and physical), technological, financial, social and computational aspects.
You may specialize in Pathology to conduct postmortem or autopsy in homicide cases. It might be Information Systems Auditing.
It might be Forensic Accounting for investigating financial crimes.
Cyber Security and Computer Security for internet and communication systems.
Data collection and analysis followed by interviews for personal experiences, eye witnesses and parties connected to clues.
Things like - sketching, forensic photography, finger printing, DNA, foot prints, spatial analysis, radial analysis, communication tracking systems, ear prints , signal Processing and imagery (image Processing) or face recognition are all parts of it.
You can study Forensic Studies at the University of Baltimore, Stevenson University or Coppin State University.

Frank’s Answer

Meet with as many people in the field as possible. Do not limit yourself, so speak to local PD, Federal and State to get their takes. Each will have their own view on Criminal Investigation. Take some Criminal Investigation courses. Speak with people at different stages of their career for their plusses and minuses of the job. Do some research in the library and online. Good Luck.

Criminal investigation as a career, first start with school that have good criminal investigation programs. You can also look on YouTube and see what people who are in that career say about it to see if that inspires you at all.
From there just go online and apply to the schools you want hope with helps a bit.

Sikawayi’s Answer

Hello Destiny, thank you for your question. I think the best way to find out more about criminal investigations would be to meet with your local police department, tell them of your ambitions and see what they say if you're lucky they'll let you do a ride a long so you can see what it's really like. Of course, you always have the option of going to school, you don't have to choose your major at the point you enroll that will give you time to make up your mind. Best of luck
