About this title

Synopsis

Enforcing Ethics: A Scenario-Based Workbook for Decisions in Criminal Justice, now in its fifth edition, focuses on the critical importance of ethical conduct within law enforcement. This book dissects the multifaceted role of ethics in policing and corrections, examining the factors contributing to unethical behavior and the impact of these actions on public trust and service. It serves as both a scholarly examination and a practical guide for integrating ethical principles into law enforcement practices.

The text navigates through topics such as understanding ethics in detail and the repercussions of unethical decisions. It also goes beyond the individual, presenting case studies in professional conduct and discretionary decision-making. Additionally, it offers in-depth discourse on profiling biases and excessive force, culminating in strategies for promoting ethical behavior within law enforcement agencies.

The fifth edition has been robustly updated throughout, including two brand-new chapters (on mental health and mass media / social media), 15 new case studies, and contemporary thought-provoking high-profile cases that address a variety of concerns in the law enforcement profession.

Enforcing Ethics is ideal for programs in criminal justice, law enforcement, and ethics. Students and professionals alike will benefit from its examination of ethical challenges, providing a robust foundation for navigating the ethical dilemmas faced in modern law enforcement careers.
