Criminological or Psychological work experience.

HI all, I am currently a year 12 student who is looking for a work experience placement towards the end of July. I would love to do something in the fields of criminology and psychology as this is what I want to do. However, I can't find anything, and so I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to where I can look?

Thanks!

Hello @liaaaa3a5,
Getting work experience directly related to psychology can be difficult. However, if the work experience involves interacting with people, it likely can be applied! For example, its usually quite easy to get work experience in schools which can definitely be applied to many aspects of psychology - developmental and educational in particular. You could also ask to shadow someone who works as a psychologist, although this can be harder to get.

Good luck!
