CJC 320 Ethics in Criminal Justice
This course provides students with an introduction to diversity and morality and scope of ethics, particularly as its many problems and diverse perspectives intersect with those ongoing controversies found in the everyday world of crime, law, and justice. Ethics involves the study of many different themes and issues, including concepts such as good, duty, obligation, virtue, freedom, rationality, and choice, as well as the ways in which each of these notions informs the dilemmas we face, the choices we make, and the actions we undertake. The themes that this ethics course explores underlie many circumstances we routinely confront as individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and cultures. The immediate aim of this course is to encourage critical reflection on these concepts and concerns, recognizing their significance to and contemplating their value for people in various social contexts.
