      abstract = {"This third edition has been comprehensively revised,  expanding the information in the previous edition on the  long-standing challenge of implementing effective,  responsible, and acceptable practices in ethical police  work. The author's unique perspective provides insights not  found elsewhere and presents them in an informative,  fact-filled, and encouraging way. The text is based on the  premise that ethical crisis has always existed in law  enforcement and stresses that policing is and always has  been a 'morally dangerous occupation.' The moral dangers of  policing are discussed in detail and emphasize how crucial  ethical standards are for police officers. Four critical  and primary questions addressed in the text are: Is law  enforcement a profession? Can law enforcement officers be  professional? What forms of behavior are the major law  enforcement ethical violations? Can police ethical  violations be controlled? Several chapters also thoroughly  review the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics and include very  up-to-date examples of notable violations by individual  officers and police departments. Additional topics include  major police corruption issues, including corrupt practices  and corruption control; abuse of authority; and getting  effective control of unethical behavior. The goal of this  timely new edition is to provide officers, law enforcement  managers, and city administrators with only the most  current information, tools, and skills in identifying and  dealing with unethical police behavior. It is valuable to  both new and seasoned officers in a significant effort to  make policing a true profession that is real and not  rhetoric"--Provided by publisher.},
