Download or read book Police Ethics written by Tom Barker (Ph. D.) and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2006 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition has been comprehensively revised, expanding the information in the previous edition on the long-standing challenge of implementing effective, responsible, and acceptable practices in ethical police work. The author’s unique perspective provides insights not found elsewhere and presents them in an informative, fact-filled, and encouraging way. The text is based on the premise that ethical crisis has always existed in law enforcement and stresses that policing is and always has been a “morally dangerous occupation.” The moral dangers of policing are discussed in detail and emphasize how crucial ethical standards are for police officers. Four critical and primary questions addressed in the text are: Is law enforcement a profession? Can law enforcement officers be professional? What forms of behavior are the major law enforcement ethical violations? Can police ethical violations be controlled? Several chapters also thoroughly review the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics and include very up-to-date examples of notable violations by individual officers and police departments. Additional topics include major police corruption issues, including corrupt practices and corruption control; abuse of authority; and getting effective control of unethical behavior. The goal of this timely new edition is to provide officers, law enforcement managers, and city administrators with only the most current information, tools, and skills in identifying and dealing with unethical police behavior. It is valuable to both new and seasoned officers in a significant effort to make policing a true profession that is real and not rhetoric.

  • Author : Michael A. Caldero
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2014-10-13
  • ISBN : 1317522044
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book Police Ethics written by Michael A. Caldero and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an examination of noble cause, how it emerges as a fundamental principle of police ethics and how it can provide the basis for corruption. The noble cause — a commitment to "doing something about bad people" — is a central "ends-based" police ethic that can be corrupted when officers violate the law on behalf of personally held moral values. This book is about the power that police use to do their work and how it can corrupt police at the individual and organizational levels. It provides students of policing with a realistic understanding of the kinds of problems they will confront in the practice of police work.

Book Assessing Law Enforcement Ethics

Download or read book Assessing Law Enforcement Ethics written by Karen L. Amendola and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In surveying ethical attitudes of police officers, the Oregon State Police (OSP) Department examined whether a shared sense of values prevailed within the police organization, whether police officers received consistent information on organizational values and policies, and how police officers viewed the integrity of the police organization. Of 780 sworn personnel, 615 responded to the survey, for a 79 percent response rate. Survey findings revealed values promoted by police supervisors affected attitudes and behavior of their subordinates. When police supervisors were perceived as having strong values and behavior, they often received more loyalty. Rank was associated with ethical values; ratings of values and behaviors in relation to the OSP went up as rank went up. The position of sergeant had some role ambiguity; attitudes of sergeants differed widely, with some favoring the management role and others favoring the fellow police officer position. Sergeants had to balance management considerations with fellow police officer concerns, a role that sometimes led to alienation from the ranks. Management personnel working at the OSP headquarters rated their ethical values and behavior higher across the board. Implications of the survey findings for establishing standards governing police professionalism and ethical behavior are discussed. Appendixes present the OSP's Code of Ethical Conduct, information on the survey methodology, a list of reasons for not returning the survey, a list of issues not covered by the survey, and correlation data.

  • Author : Howard S. Cohen
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA

  • ISBN : 031339072X
  • Pages : 186 pages

Download or read book Power and Restraint written by Howard S. Cohen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1991-06-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In accepting the authority to govern, what responsibilities do the police incur? Power and Restraint answers this question by using a moral perspective grounded in the social contract, and by defining an ethical basis for police work. Howard S. Cohen and Michael Feldberg posit five standards by which to measure responsible police behavior: fair access, public trust, safety and security, teamwork, and objectivity. To test their proposals, Cohen and Feldberg apply these standards to several familiar yet challenging cases that are encountered in municipal patrol work in the United States, illustrating how police officers can develop appropriate moral responses to complex and difficult circumstances. These developed standards of ethical behavior can be used as a basis for the rehearsal of decision-making and action in police training as well as for the judicious evaluation of police behavior after the fact. The authors developed their theories over a 10-year period by spending hundreds of hours in seminars on police ethics with officers and trainers from across the country, carefully discussing specific cases and examples of moral issues that were most troubling to the officers themselves. With its systematic and integrated approach to the analysis and evaluation of cases, this timely work extends the field of police ethics. The two-section volume begins with an introduction that describes how the authors arrived at the system of ethical standards that is developed in detail in the three chapters of Part I. In Part II, four chapters present challenging scenarios that test the developed standards in the context of real policing situations, addressing such issues as excessive force, gratuities and corruption, balancing individual rights with keeping the peace, and sorting through the conflict between loyalty to colleagues and telling the truth under oath about possible wrongdoing. This book will be invaluable to instructors in university-level criminal justice courses that deal with ethics or the police. It could also be used in courses in applied ethics in philosophy and will be an important resource for police academy trainers for both in-service and recruit training.
