I had similar concerns. My research interests straddle the line between criminology and sociology. I was informed by Professors that criminology schools are not as well-regarded in academia circles than sociology programs. That said, one professor informed me that there are a decent number of criminology positions available.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response!

Hi all - I am new to this whole thing. I am a graduate of Cornell, where I studied organizational behavior, and a graduate of Cornell Law School. I have been out of school for awhile, mainly working in the white collar criminal field. I am applying to PhD programs this month to study organizational deviance. I took the GREs and got a 650V, 670Q, and 5A. I have no idea what my chances are for getting into a program and, if I can get into a program, which ones should I be shooting for. Also, do my years away from school (now 7 years, after law school) hurt my chances? Thanks so much guys in advance.
