This course will explore the ethical issues that
confront modern practitioners in the various
criminal justice settings. Emphasis will be
placed on recognizing and analyzing moral dilemmas
confronting criminal justice professionals, both
on an organizational and individual level, as
well as determining responses to those complex and
controversial dilemmas through an understanding
of ethical theories, the development of ethical
reasoning skills, and the application of
appropriate standards and codes of conduct.
Approaches to solving ethical dilemmas are
applied to the reality of careers in a variety of
criminal justice fields such as law enforcement and
punishment and corrections, to the role of the
prosecutor, defense counsel and judiciary in the
administration of justice.
