In their experience as teachers of ethics courses in criminal justice, the authors have found examining and discussing hypothetical scenarios to be helpful in adding dimension and depth to the study of justice and ethics. Case Studies in Criminal Justice Ethics contains a variety of ethics-oriented cases that address the complex process of moral and ethical decision making. These scenarios focus on both the personal and the social context of such decision making, and they explore different kinds of situations in criminal justice in which moral choices result in consequences both good and bad. The case studies are divided into four sections: Policing, Courts, Corrections, and Juvenile Justice. These cases cover a comprehensive range of situations, including bribery, child abuse/neglect, political corruption, noble cause corruption, sexual violence in prison, and an assortment of other criminal justice and social justice themes. To facilitate personal reflection and class discussion, questions follow each case. For readers interested in an in-depth treatment of the issues introduced in the cases, a list of books and articles for suggested reading appears at the end of each section.

Makes You Think About It!,
By G Niehaus (Lakeport, CA, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Case Studies in Criminal Justice Ethics (Paperback)
Why do I act the way I do? What would I really do? This book makes you think about the choice of fitting in with your co-workers or supervisors vs. being ethical and honest. It makes you see yourself as a human being trying to balance between burnout, ethics, and fitting in. Good book.
