Police Ethics

The Corruption of Noble Cause

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Police Ethics, Fourth Edition, provides an analysis of corruption in law enforcement organizations. The authors argue that the noble cause - a commitment to "doing something about bad people" - is a central "ends-based" police ethic that can paradoxically lead to community polarization and increased violence when officers violate the law on behalf of personally held moral values. This timely new edition discusses agency-wide corruption prevention strategies and ethical issues relating to the relationship between police departments and minority communities. In the post-Ferguson environment, this is a crucial text for students and law enforcement professionals alike.
