This textbook seeks to apply ethical thinking to contemporary issues in the criminal justice system. It begins by reviewing the nature of ethics, its competing theories, and the various accounts how ethical behavior is developed. It then considers the nature of justice, the law, and the ethics of social control. These two spheres of thought inform discussions of official corruption and brutality, and the ethical issues faced by police, lawyers, judges, and corrections professionals. Broader questions about the nature of punishment, community corrections, and criminal justice policy are also discussed. Pollock teaches at Southwest Texas State University.
