About this ebook
The Test Bank For 11th edition of Ethical Dilemmas and Decisions in Criminal Justice by Joycelyn M. Pollock provides a comprehensive, structured examination of ethical decision-making across the main pillars of the justice system: policing, courts, and corrections. [1, 2]
The textbook is traditionally organized into five core parts, blending foundational philosophical theories with modern real-world events. [1, 2]
Part I: Ethics and the Criminal Justice System
- Defining Morality and Ethics: Explores the critical definitions of terms like morals, ethics, values, and duties within institutional structures. [1, 2, 3]
- Ethical Systems: Introduces major foundational philosophies such as Utilitarianism, Deontology (Kantian ethics), Virtue Ethics, Religion, and the Ethics of Care. [1, 2]
- Justice and Law: Analyzes principles of distributive and corrective justice, social justice, and the concept of "the rule of law."
- Moral Development: Examines psychological and biological theories regarding why individuals behave unethically and how moral reasoning develops.
Part II: Ethics and Policing
- The Police Role: Explores the ethical conflict between the crime control model vs. the due process model, along with police subculture.
- Police Discretion and Dilemmas: Investigates the limits of profiling, surveillance, deceptive tactics during interrogation, and situational discretion.
- Police Corruption and Misconduct: Details excessive use of force, systemic corruption, and accountability measures.
- Modern Update: This section heavily incorporates discussions on the Black Lives Matter movement, the defund police movement, and reforms tracking the George Floyd protests. [1, 3, 4, 5]
Part III: Ethics and the Courts
- Defense Attorneys: Examines the ethics of zealous advocacy, confidentiality, and defending clients known to be guilty.
- Prosecutors: Delves into prosecutorial discretion, plea bargaining, and misconduct (such as hiding exculpatory evidence or Brady violations).
- Judges: Addresses judicial discretion, sentencing disparities, and the politics of selecting judges. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Part IV: Ethics and Corrections
- The Ethics of Punishment: Evaluates the moral justifications for sentencing (retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation).
- Institutional Misconduct: Focuses on the misuse of power by correctional officers, prison subcultures, and inmate rights.
- Community Corrections: Explores ethical issues faced by probation and parole officers balancing surveillance against rehabilitation.
Part V: Ethical Choices in the 21st Century
- The War on Terror: Examines privacy rights, surveillance policies, and national security ethics.
- Contemporary Institutional Challenges: Discusses systemic corruption and the privatization of corrections.
- Modern Update: Analyzes governmental restrictions used to control the 2020 pandemic and the ethical/legal fallout of the January 2021 Capitol assault. [1, 2]
