For courses in criminology, criminal justice and justice studies that explore the moral and ethical dimensions of the discipline.

Taking an integrative approach, Ethics, Crime, and Criminal Justice, 1st Edition, offers an introduction to the convergence of ethics and morality with issues of crime, law, and justice. Placing an emphasis on the concepts, principles and theories that comprise ethical thought, the book demonstrates how these concepts can be used to examine ethical issues within the field. Critical thinking and reasoning skills are central to the text, as is its discussion of metaethics and moral psychology. Case studies and illustrations provide practical examples, while sound coverage of theory emphasizes how the ethics field can inform our understanding of moral issues in criminal justice.
