Ethics and Criminal Justice

Research and locate a current-events article or video that, like the example article from Tulsa World, depicts ethical or unethical practices that have occurred within a policing agency, court system, or correctional facility.

Share a link to the news story or video and answer the following questions:

What were the ethical or unethical actions that led to the ultimate outcome?

Relying on your own personal ethical perspective, what is your opinion regarding the situation presented?

What role do you believe organizational culture played in this situation and in the ethical or unethical behaviors of those involved?

In your response to your peers’ posts, reflect on their summary of the role that organizational culture played in the story. As a criminal justice leader, what can you do to help promote a positive organizational culture that better supports or discourages the behavior highlighted in your peer’s example?
