Criminal Justice Ethics: Cultivating the moral imagination: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Criminal Justice Ethics: Cultivating the moral imagination" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

It is essential for those employed within the justice system to be able to competently and confidently work at the borders between ethics and the law. Criminal Justice Ethics offers a fresh new approach to considering ethical issues in a criminal justice context. Rather than simply offering a range of ethical dilemmas specific to various justice professionals, it provides extensive discussion of how individuals develop their moral imaginations using ethical perspectives and practices, both as citizens of the world and as practitioners of justice.

Starting from a consideration of the major ethical theories, this book sets the framework for an expansive discussion of ethics by moving from theory to consider the just society and the role of the justice professional within it. Each chapter provides detailed analysis of relevant ethical issues, and activities to engage students with the content, as well as review questions, which can be used for revision or examination. This book will help students to:

understand the various theoretical approaches to ethics,
apply these understandings to issues in society and the justice process,
assist in developing the ability to investigate, discuss, and analyse current ethical issues in criminal justice,
appreciate the diverse nature of ethical systems across cultures,
outline strategies for detecting and resolving ethical dilemmas.

Rich with examples and ethical dilemmas from a broad range of contexts, this books multicultural approach will appeal not only to criminal justice educators, but also to academics, students and practitioners approaching criminal justice from sociological, psychological or philosophical perspectives.

This innovative book is essential reading for anyone seeking a rich social - photo 1

This innovative book is essential reading for anyone seeking a rich social scientific understanding of ethics in this current era.

West Virginia University, USA

Sharon Hayes provides a fresh, new approach to teaching criminal justice ethics. Beginning with strong foundational material covering what is ethics and why we should be ethical, she then moves on to societal ethics and morality. In contrast to most ethics textbooks, it is only after giving the reader this essential baseline that she then addresses situational ethics for law enforcement, courts and corrections. In a society that frequently questions individual and group ethics, this book helps bring much needed clarity and understanding.

Contents

This book could not have been written without the input of the many students to whom I have taught ethics over the past twenty years. The lively class discussions have assisted in honing and enriching both content and style, and I thank them with all my heart. Id like to thank my tutors, Bridget Thomas, Bethney Baker, Luke Trantor, Carol Quadrelli, and Rob Robertson for their invaluable input. Im also appreciative of discussions about the material with Matthew Ball, who co-taught it with me from 2010 through 2012. Thanks also to Olivia Hayes for keeping me updated on ethics in the media, and to Cathy Rayner for transcribing some of my lectures. Extra thanks must also go to Cathy and Olivia who, as my family, have provided invaluable support and cups of tea during the writing of this book. Thanks also to OUP for their kind permission to reproduce some of my previous work in . Finally, thanks to the editors at Routledge, particularly Heidi Lee, for their ongoing patience and unfailing good humor!

This book is about the ethical and moral issues that impact upon those who work in, and those who access, the criminal justice system. It is more than just a professional code of conduct or even an exploration of how ethics can be applied to professional roles, although those are important parts. This text aims to broaden your thinking about the criminal justice system, how it is structured and how it fits into society at large. It introduces the term social ethics, which illustrates the impact of the criminal justice system on specific populations, particularly those who are disadvantaged. It also demonstrates how public and private morality play such a large role in conceptualizations of ethics.
