The text covers topics on the roles of culture, environment, social learning, policy, and reward systems as they pertain to law enforcement ethics, as well as the ethics of force, interrogations, marginality, and racial profiling. This volume also covers several unique aspects of ethics, such as the role of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in misconduct (PTSD), cheating during law enforcement promotional practices, off-duty misconduct, and best practices in developing countries.
Download or read book Value Diversity in Entry level Officers written by Bruce E. Cockerham and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a literature review, interviews, and the nominal group technique, this study examines the critical factors that will influence the impact of value diversity in entry- level police officers on a model California police agency by the year 2000. The analysis focused on the types of value diversity that might be expected, the potential increase in conflict with organizational value systems, changes in organizational tolerance of value diversity, and proactive processes needed to achieve compatibility of values. Significant trends predicted included increased cultural and age diversity, an increased emphasis on self, erosion of the nuclear family and the support systems associated with the development of traditional values, preoccupation with leisure and materialism, increased mobility and shorter careers, reduced job commitment and educational achievement, and an increasing potential for value conflicts among new and longstanding police employees. Based on these predictions, a strategic plan was recommended that required a comprehensive, values-oriented approach to all police agency functions. Twenty-six action steps were suggested to implement this plan.

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.
Download or read book Law Enforcement Communication and Community written by Howard Giles and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given widespread media attention to issues of crime and its prevention, police heroism, and new modes of police-community involvements, this international collection is timely. It is unique in examining ways in which police and citizens communicate across a range of contexts and problem areas. While much attention is afforded the critical roles of communication by police agencies, there has been little recourse to communication science and its theories. Likewise, the latter has not, until recently, concerned itself with analyzing police-citizen interactions. This volume examines the character of such encounters, forging new theoretical frameworks having implications for practice in many instances. Topics include media portrayals of law enforcement, communication and new technologies within police culture, domestic violence, hate crimes, stalking, sexual abuse, and hostage negotiations. This book should be relevant not only to a range of social sciences besides Communication scholars and students, but also to practitioners working in the field.

Download or read book Predisposition Or Socialization written by Everett Doolittle and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thirty years, research has shown that police officers exhibit an authoritarian personality that often puts them at odds with the public at large. With the move toward community policing, many policy makers have called for increased education and diversity among the police as a means of better aligning police values and beliefs to those they serve. Whether those efforts will be effective, however, depends on whether police recruits enter the field with authoritarian attitudes or if they are a result of professional socialization, a matter of dispute among researchers. This research was intended to contribute to this debate and its policy implications by examining whether students entering a law enforcement degree program hold predetermined beliefs and values that are significantly different from their classmates not entering law enforcement careers and that vary among themselves according to age, race, or gender. Over 5 years, a 30-question survey of 28 classes regarding current criminal justice issues and debates was conducted among 833 students taking an introductory-level criminal justice course at a mid-western university. The data strongly supported the research hypothesis that beginning law enforcement students held different beliefs and values than their non-law enforcement counterparts in all four topic areas addressed: perceptions of police and police power, perceptions of the courts and government, issues of punishment and justice, and individual rights and responsibilities. They also revealed that the responses of minority law enforcement students varied quite significantly from those of Anglo law enforcement students to nearly half of the questions. The data did not demonstrate significant differences among law enforcement students according to age, and the only significant difference attributable to gender was that female law enforcement students were less likely to favor the death penalty. The study discusses the policy and educational implications of these findings and offers suggestions for future research.
Download or read book Police Ethics written by Michael A. Caldero and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police Ethics, Fourth Edition, provides an analysis of corruption in law enforcement organizations. The authors argue that the noble cause—a commitment to “doing something about bad people”—is a central “ends-based” police ethic. This fundamental principle of police ethics can paradoxically open the way to community polarization and increased violence, however, 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 lead police to abuse their positions 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. This timely new edition offers police administrators direction for developing agency-wide corruption prevention strategies, and a re-written chapter further expands our level of understanding of corruption by covering the Model of Circumstantial Corruptibility in detail. The fourth edition also discusses critical ethical issues relating to the relationship between police departments and minority communities, including Black Lives Matter and other activist groups. In the post-Ferguson environment, this is a crucial text for students, academicians, and law enforcement professionals alike.
