Ethics for Criminal Justice Professionals

By Scott M. Mire, Cliff Roberson, Scott Mire

Increasing concerns about the accountability of criminal justice professionals at all levels has placed a heightened focus on the behavior of those who work in the system. This volume examines the myriad of ethical issues that confront law enforcement, judicial system, and correctional personnel. Topics discussed include the concept of false moral identity, ethical reasoning and philosophy, attorney-client privilege, and management and corruption. The book also explores prejudice and discrimination, discovery violations, discretion to prosecute, defense counsel ethics, and ethical issues related to correction.
