Career preference of criminology students of the University of Mindanao among tri-bureau agency : multinomial analysis /

Abstract

Career preferences are vital decisions for students. In choosing which Tri Bureau agency to work for, there are many factors that students need to consider. The Study used multinomial analysis to determine the career preferences of criminology students at the University of Mindanao among Tri Bureau agencies. Data was collected from 300 randomly selected Criminology students. Using a descriptive survey method, the Study disclosed that the most preferred agencies are the PNP, BPF, and BJMP. 49.30% of respondents identified themselves as having their dream job enforcing the law, preventing and controlling crimes, and maintaining peace and order. 34.70% of the respondents anticipated carrying the duty to protect the people and their property against the fires. Furthermore, 16.00% of respondents visualized working under direct supervision in jail management. The multinomial analysis found that age, gender, influence of Family and friends, socioeconomic, and personal interests do not predict their career preferences. This Study recommends the following: future researchers, future criminology students, the guidance personnel, the community, and parents of the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire and Protection (BFP), and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). These aim to help you set professional goals and development strategies for getting where you want to be iv Keywords: Career preference, Criminology Students, University of Mindanao, SDG # 4: Quality Education
