Criminal justice or legal council qualifications in which country? You need to be accredited in the DR to practice in the DR.

Experience and contacts are as important, if not more important, than academic qualifications.

Foreigners cannot practice law in the DR unless they become Dominican citizens, and get their degree from an accredited Dominican Law School...
There MIGHT be jobs for crime scene investigators, but getting the job would require connections inside the police.
Anything else you mentioned is pretty much worthless...

You could learn how to type better, it makes for easier reading of your posts.

Any Good degree from a recognised University will get you some interest from employers here but you must have a realistic expectation of salary and as said by others before some good contacts.
It is better to get a job before coming here as you can negotiate a better deal.
As with most countries a degree does not guarantee a good job you must have the right experience also. Sadly age is a factor here too....too old or too young and you will find it hard.
Language can be a problem too. If you are a professional and the majority of your work will be in English then it is less of a problem. Law or Social work you will need to be quite fluent in Spanish.....however Dominican Spanish is a little different....some good threads on this if you read them with the Dominicanisms.

Engineering has good prospects if you have all the above criteria.
Try to seach the web for agencies that advertise Dominican jobs and post a CV. It can take a while for you hear anything so dont expect an instant response. Try and find the names and contact details of companies here and send a CV directly to the Human Resources manager.....again do not expect instant results, everything here takes time.
Good luck and wish you well in your search.
