CJUS 350 Discussion Board 4
Ethical Issues
Please post your answers to the following questions:
- What are your views on the idea of an unwritten code of conduct governing the behavior of police and corrections officers?
- You are a police officer and you witness your partner of 6 years strike a criminal suspect who has been arrested and is secured in handcuffs. The actions of your partner are in violation of your department’s Use of Force policy. Your partner has already received punitive sanctions in the past for unwarranted use of force, and this incident may jeopardize his career. What would you do?
Dilemma:
Please read Scenario 1 (p. 39) in the Goodman textbook. How would you handle this situation?
