Investigative Ethics

Beschreibung

Knowing the right thing to do is often problematic - but ethical dilemmas faced by police detectives are nothing short of extraordinary. Further complexities arise due to the growth of problems confronting the modern developed world, including such issues as white collar crimes, drugs, computer crimes, and acts of terrorism. Investigative Ethics: Ethics for Police Detectives and Criminal Investigators presents applied philosophical analyses of the myriad ethical issues that arise for police detectives and other criminal investigators in contemporary society. Issues addressed include ethical considerations relating to investigative independence, rights of victims and suspects, use of informants, entrapment, privacy and surveillance, undercover operations, deception, and suspect interviewing. Along with references to relevant empirical studies, topics are illustrated utilizing examples from actual police inquiries along with techniques deployed during the course of these investigations. Investigative Ethics: Ethics for Police Detectives and Criminal Investigators offers a timely and revealing glimpse into the uses and potential misuses of police authority.

"Liberally illustrated with challenging cases, this volume marshals and discusses the many ethical problems encountered by police investigators. In an area that tends to be governed by pragmatic considerations, it provides an important check on the desire and pressure for results." --John Kleinig, John Jay College of Criminal Justice "Rarely has the publication of a work exploring modern crime investigation shown such a thorough grasp of the myriad challenges, many of them ethical, facing tenacious investigators." --Sir Dan Crompton, Former UK Police Chief and HM Inspector of Police "Investigative Ethics is applied philosophy of the best sort. Its thoughtful analysis of foundational issues in police ethics--at once sophisticated and accessible--will provide a valuable resource for philosophers, legal academics, and police practitioners." --Stuart Green, Rutgers Law School "Investigative Ethics makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of critical and informed literature on criminal investigative practice. While aimed at police detectives and criminal investigators, it has much to offer professional administrative investigators. Highly recommended." --Nigel Savidge, Lead Integrity Specialist, Asian Development Bank
