Jacksonville, Florida, may be known for its proximity to Florida's sunny beaches, but it also has a lot to offer students interested in criminal justice careers or law-related careers. This sprawling city, one of the largest in the U.S., is home to numerous courthouses and an extensive legal and social-services network. Jacksonville and the beach towns nearby require a strong police presence and, because of its location, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy – both career possibilities for criminal justice majors – have bases in Jacksonville. The city also has a large Port Authority that employs thousands.
