My first thought was to look for CFPs in Criminal Justice as a starting point, with the hope that a CFP would merge with your research interests or coursework. There is a general master list here, of course:

But really, I had special issues of journals, hot conference proposals, etc., in my head. This sort of thing:

or even
Call for Papers — Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice
You could also look at the proceedings of annual conferences in your field for the past few years to see if you could eke out a topic with ready-made references. Even if a topic has previously been discussed, your goal would be to address an issue arising from their work in your own.
Oh, and if you are planning to go into academia, obviously, it would be a bonus if your dissertation chapters coincided with a series of potential journal submissions.
