I love criminal justice and learning about criminal offenses. I want to pursue it as a career but I also want to be in a business environment.
Investigation has piqued my interest and I have looked at a Human Rights Investigator as well.

Hello, Abigail !
You have a very unique and wonderful pairing of career choices ! The first thing that comes to mind blending crime and business environment would be for you to become an Attorney. That is a seven year duration of study. The second idea I have for you is to aim to become a Prison or Corrections Administrator. You can read about Correctional Administration at this link : https://www.allcriminaljusticeschools.com/specialties/correctional-administration/
If you'd like to work for the government, you can read about working for the Department of Justice at this link : https://www.justice.gov/careers
Depending on what you decide, and whatever you do decide, I would advise that you should go for a college degree, a Bachelors or a Masters would be suitable, depending on how long you'd like to attend college. The further you go with studying, the more your career opportunities will be. Although this next one will have a casual environment, you could always consider being a Crime Writer. You can read a little about it here:
https://www.practicaladultinsights.com/how-do-i-become-a-crime-writer.htm In college you can take some criminal justice courses and writing courses, even playwriting and screenwriting.
Since you've already looked into being a Human Rights Investigator, that's a great start ! I would advise getting the Masters Degree although people get work for this with a Bachelors Degree. You would have to work for a while for experience and than apply for the career jobs. It sounds like a great choice !
Try not to be too concerned about being in a high corporate type environment. When you love the work, you won't care about the physical structure of where you'll work and you would work in various environments. You'll have time to be business-like during presentations and meetings that you give. Define your idea of "business environment" - make a list on paper. As you study for your career, you may see that you can sometimes be in that type of arena but not all the time. As a Human Rights Investigator, you may work on the road and out in the field for certain things, but that's something that your courses will cover while you are in college.
An article at Zippia talks about how sometimes Human Rights Investigators go on to become Human Resource Directors https://www.zippia.com/human-rights-investigator-jobs/ If you become a Human Resource Director, that could very well be a business environment depending on what company you work for.
I hope that this was helpful and I wish you all the best with your plans !

What a unique blend you have! You've transitioned from law enforcement to technology, and finally settled into business.
The first step towards success is always gaining hands-on experience in the industry. This could lead you to work for a company that caters to the criminal justice sector with their products or services. This experience might even help you discover a niche that could spark the beginning of your own business venture.
Remember, having firsthand industry knowledge by being a part of it, lays a solid groundwork for a business career dedicated to serving that same industry. This is a journey filled with potential, so embrace the opportunities that lie ahead!
