Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the importance given selected job characteristics by individuals who possess a criminal justice degree from an Illinois institution of higher learning. The examination entailed the analysis of the possible differentiation between racial groups, sex, degree obtained, and occupational choice in relation to job characteristics. The findings indicated that significant differentiations did occur between races as a whole and between races by sex. No significant differentiations were found between: (1) sexes; (2) racial groups by degree level; (3) racial groups by occupational choice, (4) racial groups by sex and degree level: (5) racial groups by sex and occupational choice, and (6) racial groups by degree level and occupational choice.
