Discussion: Ethical Issues
The use of force by law enforcement officers is sometimes required when dealing with suspects resisting arrest and/or individuals disobeying direct orders. However, when the use of force becomes excessive or is used unnecessarily, law enforcement officers are arguably committing ethical violations.
Compose an essay of 500 words that discusses (1) the types of ethical violations that can occur when excessive use of force occurs and (2) policies that law enforcement administrators can implement to minimize the chances of officers unnecessarily utilizing excessive use of force without impeding the discretion necessary for officers to effectively carryout their duties.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
