Introducing students to the fundamentals of ethical theory, this text exposes the reader to the ways and means of making moral judgments by examining the teaching of the great philosophers, sources of criminal justice ethics, and unethical patterns in the criminal justice system.
It is presented from both a thematic perspective and an area-specific perspective, addressing the state of ethics in criminal justice in the fields of policing, corrections, and probation and parole.
"What You Will Learn from This Chapter" sections at the beginning of each chapter will help students capture important concepts. Each chapter also includes a list of key terms with definitions.
The fourth edition features expanded discussion of the formula of ethical discretion to enhance students’ understanding of ethics decision making in real-life situations, as well as a new chapter on the ethics of loyalty and loyalties in the workplace.
