community
 A chance to meet professionals in the field who can advocate for your future employment
 An opportunity to explore a specific profession prior to committing yourself to it in a
full-time capacity
 An appointment as a representative and ambassador of your academic institution
 A privilege
 An opportunity to broaden your educational experience with some real practical experience
 A huge responsibilitythe vast majority of which falls upon the student
 Unpaid (usually)
 To be set up far in advance of starting, usually five to ten weeks before the internship semester begins
 To be completed by individuals who have declared criminal justice as their major and are of junior or senior standing
 To be granted at the complete and mutual discretion of the internship coordinator and the participating agency
 For students who have demonstrated adequate academic performance, and are in good academic standing with the department, any faculty committees, and the college/university

A criminal justice internship is not:
 To be taken for granted
 A filler because you can't find a class that you like
 Something to do because you can't think of anything else to do
 A fast-track to guaranteed post-graduation employment
 A blow-off course
 A right as a student (see privilege above)
