Interpretive:
While this wasn't exactly the profession I wanted to shadow for my
topic, this experience gave me valuable information and insight into the
criminal justice field. I learned about the real day-to-day duties of a police
officer as well as what is required of them back at the station. I gained a
good, beginners insight into the criminal justice field.
After completing my mentorship component, I realized that my topic
idea wasn't specific enough when I started. I knew that I wanted to do
something that involved understanding the criminal mind, but I wasn't nearly
specific enough. I know that I wouldn't want to do my topic solely on police
work, but I do plan to take what I learned about understanding crime from my
volunteer hours and apply it towards my topic. Completing these hours just put me in the right direction for my topic and now I know for sure that I want to pursue a topic more geared towards criminal law.
