  • Current Issues with Policing and Ethics Essay

    ...Final Essay Shallan Ley CJ340: Applied Criminal Justice Ethics Professor: Kevin Stoehr April 27, 2011 The International Association of Chiefs of Police (2009) states the following: A police officer acts as an official representative of the government; he is required and trusted to work within the law. The officer's powers and duties are conferred by statute. The fundamental duties of a police officer include serving the community; safe-guarding lives and property; protecting the innocent; keeping the peace; and ensuring the rights of all to liberty, equality and justice. (As cited in Banks, 2009, p.31) Ethical standards based on Constitutional principles are absolute because police officers take this oath to uphold them. The police in the United States are entrusted with enormous power. With such power and immediate capability to deprive a citizen of their liberties, law enforcement officials must adhere to the strictest of ethical standards in carrying out their duties. On a daily basis, police officers must overcome ethical dilemmas while performing the essential duties of the job. It is the duty of the professionals in law enforcement to continuously improve police ethics training. This paper will examine some current issues in policing, in which ethical decision making have become a pattern. The FBI defines terrorism as “the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a...

    ...dog is aggressive because terrible things do happen. I have a german shepherd that is never off the leash unless inside the dog park fence. Cleaning up after the animal is also our responsibility because diseases can be spread through an animal’s waste. That is also something I have confronted tenants about and reported them for. Krishna’s advice is all about standing by your upbringing. I take it to mean that you must always follow your path regardless of the outcome or consequences. Therefore, Arjuna is a warrior at war, because of this he must always fight when directed to fight regardless of the consequences. I’m not completely sure how you compare or relate Krishna’s advice to care ethics because to me care ethics is not shown even in the slightest by Krishna. For me to say I would definitely fight the war would be wrong. For me to say that I would definitely withdraw would be wrong. Frankly, I have no clue how I would act or what I would do on the battlefield. I have been deployed and stationed in warzones but I had no relations or ties to the people we are at war with. Arjuna has friends and family standing on the same battlefield that may die during this conflict. This is not a factor I had to consider when being deployed. So, for me to say that I would fight or would not fight is not an answer I can straight up provide because I have never and will probably never be faced with that situation....

  • Ethics in Criminal Justice Essay

    ... Ethics In Corrections Okefenokee Technical College CRJU 1400 Ethics and Cultural Perspective for Criminal Justice November 25, 2013 Ethics in Corrections Police and other law enforcement officers deal with the concept of what is right and wrong more often than many other fields. Particularly, correctional officers in prisons and jails often face ethical dilemmas every day (McConnell, 2006). There are many daily scenarios where a correctional officer makes choices that involve their emotions and morals. The practice of making ethical choices is especially important in policing because using your emotions or moral values does not always create a satisfactory solution (Anonymous, 2002). While officers in correctional facilities are in positions of power over prisoners who have made unethical decisions, it is important that they do not abuse this power (Martin, 2001). There are many ethical issues that are very specific to prisons (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, 2005). One of the biggest ethical issues within correctional facilities is the subject of sexual misconduct (McConnell, 2006). While in recent years laws have been passed to try and rein in this problem, there are still many complaints made about sexual abuse in prisons and jails; around 60% of those complaints are against facility staff members rather than prisoners (Hunter, 2010). Another issue within...

  • Essay about Ethics and Survival

    ...Ethics and Survival. It is hard to realize the amount of pain and suffering in this world. It can be said that it is even harder to do something that could make in impact to help all of those in need. With the advancement in communication and technology, the world has become a very small place. Even though we are separated by borders and beliefs, we are still one species trying to survive. We as a species are all that we have in this universe, and it is important to try and stick together and help wherever and whenever we can. This world is ravaged by poverty and sickness, while there are others with vast wealth and power. It is hard to believe that there are billionaires and people who cannot afford food on the same planet. Peter Singer states a moral problem in his paper Famine, Affluence, and Morality. He says that it is just as important to help those in need where distance and time are not important. He says that it is just as important to help a starving child far away as it is to help a drowning child right in front of you. His major principle is that our ways of understanding moral “rights and wrongs” are in fact wrong and that our societies’ definition of morally right needs to be changed because we allow poverty and pain to go on while others spend money on unnecessary luxuries. Singer states that if someone has the power to help others, without causing harm to others, they are morally required to do so. However the harm to oneself has to be...
