Criminal Justice: Ethics examines the ethical considerations and moral challenges faced by practitioners within the criminal justice system. Students will explore how ethical decision-making influences professional conduct across all areas of the justice system.
Areas of emphasis include determining moral behavior; developing ethical reasoning; ethics in law enforcement, the courts, and corrections; and the ethics of punishment. Additional topics include policy and management issues, professionalism, accountability, and the role of personal and organizational integrity in criminal justice careers.
Through discussion, case studies, and analysis of real-world scenarios, students will develop a deeper understanding of ethical responsibility, professional standards, and the importance of ethical leadership in the administration of justice.
