Discussion 1: Police discretion can lead to multiple moral
dilemmas for police officers and police organizations. Chapter 2 in
your text and the Cops and Ethics video explore ethical situations
often faced by police officers (Barber, 2010). For this discussion,
develop at least three guidelines for police agencies to use in
creating a police discretion policy. Detail the potential negative
consequences of such a policy. Your discussion should include
specific examples to support your policies.Your initial post should
be at least 450 words in length not counting any references you
include.
Discussion 2: Chapter 6 in your text explores the ethical dilemmas faced by prison officials within the U.S. corrections system. For this discussion, evaluate the ethical issues involved with modern trend of privatizing correctional institutions. What are the “moral pitfalls” of removing correctional facilities from the public sector (and therefore public review) and placing large segments of society into private correctional facilities?
