I actually had to read this book for my criminal justice ethics class, it was actually a helpful and interesting book. It gives you the information that you need about "criminal justice" and "ethics" in the field of the law.

It was interesting but dry at the same time. I am glad I am done with this book.

A basic and dry exploration into the ethical dilemmas faced by those in law enforcement. I'm sure some of these more economic violations occur today, but a much better use of time would be spent discussing the corruption of the noble cause as presented in his book by Michael Caldero.

Not bad for an introductory textbook on ethical dilemmas. There was nothing that made this stand apart or even stand out. There was obvious bias in the book, but that tends to happen a lot. It ended on correctional system but that was the most boring part for me.

I read this book for a class I took.

So glad to be done with this book. This class is not a good fit for how my mind works. I like right and wrong answers, absolutes. Gray issues make me twitch. LOL
