Headlines of public service corruption scandals are painful
reminders of the need for continuing education in the subjects of
ethics and integrity. Public service professionals employed as
government officials, forensic scientists, investigators, first
responders, and those within the legal and justice systems, face
daily decisions that can mean the difference between life or death
and freedom or imprisonment. Sometimes, such decisions can present
ethical dilemmas even to the most seasoned of professionals.
Building on the success of the first edition, Ethics for the Public
Service Professional, Second Edition serves as a single-source
resource for the topic of ethics and ethical decision making as it
relates to government service. While incorporating an examination
of the history of ethics, codes and legislation, the book exposes
the reader to the challenges faced by today's public service
professionals and administrators in incorporating ethics within
daily decisions, procedures, and duties. Key features include:
Current controversies in police, forensic, and other public service
sectors including: racial profiling, evidence tampering, disaster
response, and audits Important new mechanisms of accountability,
including use-of-force reporting, citizen complaint procedures, and
open government Contemporary news stories throughout the book
introduce the reader to a broad range of ethical issues facing
leaders within the public service workplace Chapter pedagogy
including key terms, learning objectives, end-of-chapter questions,
a variety of boxed ethical case examples, and references Ripped
from the Headlines current event examples demonstrate actual
scenarios involving the issues discussed within each chapter This
in-depth text will be essential for the foundational development
and explanation of protocols used within a successful organization.
As such, Ethics for the Public Service Professional, Second Edition
will help introduce ethics and ethical decision-making to both
those new to the realm of forensic science, criminal justice, and
emergency services and those already working in the field.
