Ethics, dilemmas, discretion, and issues facing these factors are at the core root of many criminal justice-related decisions. Inside the criminal justice field, ethical decisions can affect thousands of people and can change policies, procedures, and even case law. Everyone has their own personal beliefs and values, and sometimes those beliefs and values affect their discretion and decisions. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following: Discuss an ethical dilemma a police officer may encounter. What is one possible response to this dilemma? Are there any situations where it might be acceptable for an officer to behave unethically? Provide an example of such a situation or explain why not.

Most of us were taught right and wrong from a parent, sibling, friend, teacher, or other family member. We all have a framework for our value system, moral behavior, and principles, and this impacts how we live our lives. Our values, morals, and principles impact every decision we make. Our system of beliefs is influenced by those around us, our religious beliefs, our education, and our workplace. Our moral system and beliefs define how we treat people and react to a variety of situations in the criminal justice field. Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following: Reporting coworkers for engaging in unethical behavior is not an easy action to take. However, being true to your ethical value system supports such a decision. Describe what ethical system you believe most strongly encourages reporting unethical behavior and what action would be best to take based on that system. Discuss the balance between making the moral decision and maintaining good relationships with your coworkers.
