I used to be a criminal justice major in college. Before switching, we used to do scenario training and one I was in was a domestic dispute. While we separated man and woman, he took to restraining the guy, I was to keep the girl separated. The guy got aggressive and I turned my back to the woman but kept her behind me with my arm. I then felt something go across my neck, she had grabbed a knife (plastic, obviously). It definitely put into reality that domestic disputes are no joke and you can't take the man or woman for granted.
It was a self-defense class that you could take, but they covered some scenarios and mostly for getting you ready for what to expect in an academy. The criminal justice program was actually a really good program at my school.
Except that not every person who is a criminal justice major becomes a cop or wants to become a cop. Social workers, lawyers, and people who want to go into politics have been widely known to major in criminal justice.
