My plans for obtaining this degree involve enrolling in courses focused on research methodology and data analysis while also developing a better understanding of how technology is used within law enforcement today; particularly when it comes to evidence collection and analysis tools like facial recognition software or DNA databases. In addition to completing coursework requirements for my degree program, I plan on doing additional research by conducting interviews with experts from different aspects of the criminal justice system including prosecutors and defense attorneys who might give valuable insight into courtroom proceedings or complex legal cases involving new technologies like autonomous vehicles which may present unique challenges for regulating certain crimes. Doing these types of activities would not only contribute towards earning my Master’s but also expand my knowledge base which could be beneficial when trying to solve crimes during investigations as well as defend those accused appropriately based on current laws governing their actions according to relevant statutes and regulations from other jurisdictions across the country if applicable.

In conclusion, I believe that acquiring higher education such as a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice would benefit both myself professionally and society overall by helping us address emerging issues we face collectively every day such as identity theft or cybercrime while contributing towards advancing our collective understanding about how best approach these difficult problems when they arise within our communities by finding innovative ways which are both fair yet effective long term solutions rather than simply responding reactively without any foresight into potential consequences further down the line which could cause more harm than good if overlooked completely due lack proper planning beforehand (Quartararo & Thomas-Tate 2020).
