BA degree ideas - sociology / crime?

[Aim B]

I'm looking into getting a BA degree and i have a few areas of interest. Sociology (often comes with anthropology), Psychology and something to do with crime, i'd prefer the victims' end of that spectrum (don't want law enforcement). Does anyone have any ideas how i could combine these? To work with crime victims would i need a degree in "social work"?

Possible major and minor would be Criminal Justice, Psych, Social work, and Criminology.

My suggestion would be to either take a major in social work and minor in criminal justice or a major in psychology and a minor in criminal justice to become some type of counselor.

I would definitely do the social work major (I would agree that a minor in CJ or Ethnic Studies, or Woman Studies would all be good). You will probably have to go on for an MSW (which you can do in one year with a BSW). I just heard today that CA is looking to hire 500 MSW's in the prison system in the next few years and a number of my MSW graduates are now working in probation and parole. If you add in domestic violence programs and victim assistance programs - social work is the primary profession.
