CRJ 333 - Ethics 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 thought (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.
