CRJ 210 - Professional Standards & Ethical Considerations in Criminal Justice

This course provides a historical and contemporary exploration in the field of criminal justice ethics. Students will learn and express an understanding of the different philosophical systems/schools of though (including classicism, utilitarianism, and peacemaking) and relate these ethical systems to ethical scenarios and decision-making opportunities in the different areas of criminal justice. Four specific areas examined are: law enforcement ethics, legal professional ethics, correctional ethics, and policymaking ethics. The course covers not only theoretical, but applied ethics.
