Work Experience

Hello!
I'm currently year 12, taking English Lit, Sociology, History and EPQ. I am predicted A* all across the board and I've started looking for work experience. What did you all find interesting/willing to take you aboard?
I have an interest in Criminology and Detective work but the police where I am is not offering work experience this year. Any recommendations?
magistrates court?
Local paper with an emphasis on reporting from the courts?

Im in the same boat as you right now so I spoke to my sisters friend who’s a police officer and he said something in customer service should be good because it shows you’re good with people x

Charities (such as those working with released offenders to reintegrate into society, or others)? Social research organisations (including in the government civil service)?

Honestly work experience isn't a requirement for that degree by any means so you may want to just prioritise work experience which will help you get a part-time job while at uni or similar.

you could try universities see if they've got any offerings in criminology labs or something or see if there's any online work experience offerings or courses to do instead. you've got a bit of a difficult one ngl
