Homework
Find a example of a high profile incident in which the actions and/or decisions of one or more individuals in the public safety field left citizens questioning the ethics of the action/decision and write a case study about that incident.
Your study should address at least the following:
• Who were the stakeholders potentially impacted by the actions/decisions.
• What arguments might those involved have made that their actions were ethical
o Be sure to consider various ethical frameworks when considering this question--for example:
o From a utilitarian perspective he or she might have argues that...
o From a deontological perspective he or she might argue...
o Considering virtue ethics, he or she might argue...
• Explain why the actions made were or were not ethical. Be sure to explain the academic definition you're using as a baseline for this part of the discussion
• How different actions by public safety administrators may have shaped the outcome of the incident or the perception of the public concerning either the ethics of the decision and/or the appropriateness of the organization's reaction to it. For example (not all inclusive), might better hiring standards or increased ethical training have impacted the situation--might more swift action to support or condemn the individual(s) had a positive impact on the public's perception of the individual(s) or organization.
