CJ 5552 - Criminal Justice Ethics

3 Credits (Minimum) 3 Credits (Maximum)

This seminar offers a normative framework within which to explore ways to increase sensitivity to the demands of ethical behavior among criminal justice personnel. The application of a normative perspective enhances the possibility that moral problems will be better understood, more carefully analyzed and rendered more tractable. Applied ethics forces a reflection not just on ethics, but also on the nature and operation of the criminal justice system itself.
