Packed with current, real-world examples, ETHICAL DILEMMAS AND DECISIONS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE offers comprehensive, balanced and practical coverage of ethics as it relates to the police, courts and corrections. The tenth edition discusses philosophical principles and theories that are the foundation of ethical decision making, as well as the latest challenges and issues in criminal justice--the Black Lives Matter movement and the Ferguson effect, DOJ consent decrees, sanctuary cities, prosecutorial misconduct, mandatory minimums, the misuse of power and more. Available with MindTap®, the digital learning solution that powers students' mastery of key concepts while engaging them with video cases, career scenarios, visual summaries, and more. New "Walking the Walk" boxes describe an individual who faces ethical challenges, demonstrating to students that there are often no clear solutions to such dilemmas. New coverage examines DOJ consent decrees and their future under the Trump administration. Updated content discusses asset forfeiture, officer fatalities, racism in the criminal justice system, wrongful convictions, state and federal sentencing policies, marijuana legalization and other timely topics. Plentiful new "Walking the Walk" boxes describe 21st century ethical challenges faced by real professionals - Ana Mari Cauce (president of the University of Washington and her decision regarding the First Amendment), Gary Sommers (former police officer who helps other officers deal with accidental shootings), Eric Reininga (a whistleblower in California), and more. Learning tools help to improve retention and mastery of concepts, theories and issues. Numbered learning objectives are matched to end-of-chapter summary sections and linked to corresponding quiz items in the accompanying MindTap and test bank. A running glossary defines key terms when they first appear in the text. Each chapter ends with a chapter review summary, study questions, writing and discussion exercises, key terms and ethical dilemmas describing real-life scenarios that a criminal justice professional might face in the field. "Ethical Dilemma" boxes in each chapter present scenarios that help students apply the principles being discussed. The accompanying analysis of the legal, policy and ethical aspects of each dilemma teaches students to consider multiple facets of any given situation. "Ethical Issue" boxes present a current issue or policy in policing, courts or corrections followed by an extended analysis under law, policy and ethics. These boxes show how issues can be analyzed in a similar way to personal dilemmas. "Quote and Query" boxes stimulate critical thinking by revisiting quotes from historical and contemporary figures in criminal justice and asking readers to answer relevant questions. "In the News" boxes focus on real-life examples of misconduct and the effects of misconduct.
