This book delves into a multitude of practices that, although
deemed “lawful” by courts, are undeniably “awful” and
unethical. From police officers employing deceit to extract
confessions or consent to search, to prosecutors manipulating
innocent individuals to relinquish their rights and plead guilty,
to excessive force by law enforcement, these practices erode public
trust in the criminal legal system and deny justice to those
affected. With a critical examination of these deeply flawed
tactics, this volume goes beneath the surface to explore their
profound impact on the ethical standards and emotional health of
justice system practitioners. It forcefully argues for a reclaiming
of The Social Contract and for peace officers and prosecutors to
unequivocally reject these unethical methods and recognize the
urgent need for a criminal justice system that truly embodies
ethics and fairness. This work equips police officers, prosecutors,
judges, and legislators with invaluable research, enabling them to
actively advocate for a transformed system that ethically serves
justice for all in the post-George Floyd era.
