MCJ5390 Unit VI Case Study

Instructions

For this assignment, you will utilize the CSU Online Library to locate an article that discusses a specific incident of ethical violations on the part of a police or corrections officer. The article must include a real case relating to an officer who did not adhere to his or her agency’s code of ethics. 

The article should be no more than 5 years old, and the article should have been published via a reputable source (e.g., peer-reviewed journal, law enforcement organization, or industry source). Once you identify the article, you may need to do further research as you complete the following two parts for your case study.

1. First, provide an analysis of the case, to include a      summary of the circumstances, suspected ethical violations, and the final      outcome of the case. Your analysis should include how non-law-enforcement      personnel or organizations in this case influenced the ethics of the      officer.
2. Second, assume that you are a criminal justice      administrator, and a similar incident happened under your command. Discuss      any changes or actions that you would take regarding implementing and      enforcing the code of ethics as well as the communication you would have      with your subordinates to ensure this does not happen again in your      agency. Discuss how to prevent non-law-enforcement personnel or      organizations from influencing the ethics of your criminal justice      professionals.

Your case study should present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence that incorporate concepts learned in this unit. The case study must be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title page and references page. A minimum of three sources will be used, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. All sources used should be properly cited. The case study, including all references, should be formatted in APA Style.
