The text provides a wealth of hands-on exercises as well as such insightful features as "In the News" boxes spotlighting recent examples of misconduct.
In addition, for those studying or contemplating a career in criminal justice, real-life cases and situations demonstrate the significance of ethics in today's world of criminal justice.
