This page is pretty thorough but no page would have everything. http://www.ache.state.al.us/Acadaffr/ProgInv/Degreeabbr.htm
ASPA - Associate of Science in Public Affairs, Public Administration, Police Administration, ...
AS - Associate of Science
BSPA - Bachelor of Science in (see above)
BS (also BSc and ScB) - Bachelor of Science
An associates degree is 2-years, the bachelor's is 4-years. Degree titles are generally immaterial as they differ from school-to-school but you can expect that criminal justice and related areas will be a 'science' so it'd be the Associate of Science in XYZ or the Bachelor of Science in XYZ.
Criminology though is not a science, it's a social science - those would likely be an AA or BA but could be either.
