Five identified goals for exploring ethics include becoming more aware and open to moral and ethical issues, developing critical thinking and analytical skills, becoming more personally responsible, understanding how criminal justice is engaged in a process of coercion, and developing a holistic, ethical vision. The book discusses some theoretical approaches toward criminal justice ethics, followed by an examination of ethical issues in policing, including deception by police, ethical dilemmas in police work, and the need for a code of police professional ethics. The section on ethics and the courts focuses on the practice of law and decision making in sentencing. The three subsequent sections explore ethical issues in corrections, criminal justice research, and crime control policy. The final chapter outlines a vision of criminal justice ethics for the future. Chapter references
