Ethics in Criminal Justice: In Search of the Truth, 6th ed.

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.

Key features:

  • Introduces students to great ethical thinkers and philosophical concepts in an accessible, reader-friendly manner
  • Challenges readers to emphasize and restore ethics in their part of the criminal justice field
  • Offers key terms, review questions, and "What You Will Learn" features for every chapter.
