Which degree would be likely to have more value?

I have heard that an AA degree may have more value than an AAS degree. I have also heard that a degree that lists a specific area may have more value than a degree in general studies. That being said, which associate's degree would be likely to have more value - an AA in general studies from a community college or a Pierpont BOG AAS with an area of emphasis in history? My son wavered between getting his bachelor's degree in history or criminal justice for over a year before finally deciding on criminal justice. I was wondering if it would be a good idea for him to get the Pierpont BOG AAS with an area of emphasis in history so that, in the future, if he ever became interested in some type of history-related position, he would have a degree with an emphasis in history on his resume. Any advice would be appreciated!
