ethics
Definition
- Ethical issues infuse all human interactions, especially those in which human interests are at stake. The powers vested in law enforcement personnel, coupled with the complex and exigent circumstances under which they might be employed, make ethical decision making of critical importance, not only to those immediately involved but also to the maintenance of public authority.
