Reputable Conduct

This student-friendly and easy-to-read text provides the most challenging and engaging introduction to the study of ethical issues in policing and corrections available in the U.S. today. It looks at the peculiar ethical demands of these professions, with particular emphasis on sub-cultural constraints, and how loyalty to colleagues can sometimes cause a sacrifice of individuality. Recent findings and events, real-life ethical dilemmas, and the application of moral theories to the field of justice give students a lively and relevant approach to sometimes difficult, sensitive, and even controversial material.
