Ethical Dilemma Review

The product is a very informative text in the field of ethics in the criminal justice system. It would be great for any class related to the aforementioned topic.

great condition

I bought this book brand new and it worked fine for what I needed it for.

Good Intro Ethics book for CJ

I've used this book for the last couple years, and in fact I am one of the listed reviewers the publisher used for the last edition. I think the author does a decent job of presenting the material overall. Thbe book has a very pro-CJ approach, which makes it a good choice for students. There are other books on the market that take a more "preachy" approach to ethics, and you can tell the authors often think that CJ professionals are beneath them. That's why I like this book, the author is clearly writing for a profession she has respect for and it shows. This has some good "real world" application and provides clear explanations. The best material is that a student can not only understand but also apply at later times. I supplement the book with more theory at points, so I guess my only recommendation would be to strengthen that area. That would make the book longer, though, and would probably price it much differently. For what it is, this is a good introductory book for ethics in CJ. The text can spark a reader's interest in the topic or serve as a good foundation for future professionals.
