Ethics in Criminal Justice by Sam S Souryal
Introducing the fundamentals of ethical theory, this text exposes the reader to the ways and means of making moral judgments by covering the teachings of the great philosophers, sources of criminal justice ethics and unethical patterns in the criminal justice system. It is presented from two perspectives: a thematic perspective that addresses ethical principles common to all components of the discipline, and an area-specific perspective that addresses the state of ethics in criminal justice in the fields of policing, corrections, and probation and parole. The fourth edition features expanded discussion of the formula of ethical discretion to enhance students understanding of ethics decision making in real-life situations, as well as a new chapter on the ethics of loyalty and loyalties in the workplace.DrSouryal…strikes a good balance between presenting the groundwork of general ethics and leading students to an understanding of how to discern, think about, and apply principles of practical rationality in criminal justice professions.

This text works really well to expand the discussion of ethics in the criminal justice field and how we can bring ethical behavior into a profession that needs that supportive base in order to be effective in the current societal climate.
