Problem
Write on the future state of the criminal justice world. Will we be more or less ethical? Your thoughts should include topics we have discussed in the course:
1) Recognize the differences among nonfeasance, misfeasance, and malfeasance in assessing police decisions.
2) Recognize the different causes and circumstances of police corruption.
3) Evaluate the relationship between codes of ethics and ethical principles in producing consistent conduct.
4) Recognize the importance of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct for prosecution and defense conduct.
5) Assess the scope of a prosecutor's discretion and its implication for ethical conduct.
6) Evaluate the nature of plea bargaining and the ethical dilemma it creates.
7) Discuss the ethical underpinnings of sentencing decisions.
