Criminal psychologists must earn a doctorate in clinical, counseling, correctional or criminal psychology . Takes around 5-7 years to complete. A criminal psych specialization is usually done as a post-doctoral fellowship.
All states require licensure for practicing psychologists. Requirements vary from state-to-state, but at minimum you'll need to:
1. Pass a state certification examination
2. Hold a doctorate or master's degree, usually from an APA accredited institution (a few states license MA psychs)
3. Complete 1 year of supervised fieldwork

There's probably more job availability in Criminal Justice… I don't think there are many jobs that relate to geography, especially not jobs that will hire based on just a degree with no masters, and when it isn't your primary focus of study.

I don't know a great deal about this, but I know that in Canada you need to study forensic psychology to be either a parole officer or a probation officer.
