I would assume you're looking for a RA degree vs a NA degree correct? Don't go for NA, but if you must, here's two.
If you're going for the easiest route and just want a degree, the NA CJ Degree from Ashworth or Penn Foster is the best option for NA.

Online Criminal Justice - Bachelor's Degree | Penn Foster College
But the ones listed below are much better, Big 3 and Competency Based Degrees:
Charter Oak:

Excelsior:
Excelsior College | Bachelors Degrees | Public Service | Online Classes
Thomas Edison:
BA in Criminal Justice at Thomas Edison State University
I would recommend a BA from Patten as it's on par with the Big 3, they have two degrees, with a concentration in CJ.
Online Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice College Degree | Patten University
Online Psychology College Degree | Bachelor of Arts | Patten University
On a side note: There's
Explore Our Degrees | NAU Extended Campuses but there's no degree that's in CJ, just liberal arts.

Patten doesn't have degrees in CJ. They have a degree in psychology or a degree in leadership with the option of a "concentration" in CJ, but what you're doing is taking CJ courses instead of electives. The "concentration" is not a minor or dual concentration.

It would help to know what you want to do with the degree since NA degrees can turn out to be of no value with some criminal justice employers.
