Answer 1

There are so many areas to study and potential careers.  If you are science oriented, a B.S. in biology, microbiology, chemistry would be an excellent asset to any crime lab.  Police Detectives investigate homicides and earn that position after years of work.  Forensic science and medicine is also a very important aspect of homicide investigation.  And there is the coroner, who is an MD and usually a pathologist who determines the cause of death.  Also, criminology and criminal justice are a good place to begin your studies.  Finally, let's not forget law school.  All of these people contribute to crime investigation.

Answer 2

If you want to study offender profiles, you may want to research a criminal psychology degree.  You would also be able to assist the detectives in homicide investigations from that aspect.

Answer 3

Homicide detective, special agent for the FBI would be your best bet.
