The major really just helps you know the history of crime, how criminals think, etc.
I would hope you are taking the major to gain a certain job...and not just majoring in it.
FBI agents, police officers, and detectives get degrees in this. But the best thing you could do is to either double major or minor in psychology as well. It would put you above the rest of applicants. Usually minors only require 12 extra credit hours of the subject (a semester and a half).

Law enforcement, probation officer, possibly a social worker. If you don't pick one of those, a grad degree is usually the next step.
Lots of degrees don't prepare for any specific positions. Most don't, actually. AA degrees do. Bachelors tend not to.

Sorry to assert certain, that is complicated to receive employment with a criminal conviction. Employers can in common words seem at criminal convictions for 10 years. It also relies upon at the variety of conviction and the variety of activity you're looking for for. If the conviction matches the variety of activity then probabilities of you getting an grant are slender.

Become a police officer - you can put what you have learnt to good use and then use the experience to address what you see as the shortcomings.
