CRIM 1043 — Law Enforcement Ethics
Students, or practitioners, are introduced to the fundamentals of ethical theory, doctrines, and controversies, and rules of moral judgment. Classes are exposed to the ways and means of making moral judgment, but not in specific situations. Difficult moral choices would include whether to arrest, to use deadly force, to prosecute, to participate in plea bargaining, to impose punishment, and from an organizational standpoint, whether to adhere to policy, to cooperate with supervisors, or to treat the public equitably.
