Summary I first was interested when I started watching Law & Order Special Victims Unit and got interested in the crimes the detectives were investigating and getting justice for all the victims who brutally got there world flipped upside down. My main interest would be to help those people and give them the justice they deserve and take the criminal off the streets to prevent them from sexually assaulting, abusing, or murdering and putting others in harms ways. I have many different reasons for choosing this career field. I am deeply touched by the tragedies these men, women, and children go through. To me these crimes are the worst. I would do everything in my power to put rapists, molesters, and sick people who feel the urge to sexually abuse, men, women, and children especially.
