ETHICS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE CJA/324 Introduction It is not always easy to make moral decisions‚ not only does it sometimes puts a person in awkward position it could also benefit you by not doing the right thing.

The Paycheck Fairness Act needs to be put into position due to the fact that women do the same exact job as men and have a substantially smaller wage.

Ethics are the foundation of the criminal justice system: It’s what helped us develop the moral reasoning we use‚ how we define criminal activity‚ and what we as a society deem as acceptable punishment. It’s an important topic because our criminal justice system is most effective when it’s operating in an ethical manner. 1.
