Now in its second edition, this textbook for students in ethics and criminal justice courses has been expanded to address the terrorism and the ethical considerations of torture, and includes new information on such issues as prostitution, drug abuse, homosexuality and the Patriot Act. Banks (criminology and criminal justice, Northern Arizona U.) lists the common ethical dilemmas that most criminal justice professionals face during their careers, and she uses case studies and examples to illustrate the appropriate resolutions. A companion website offers additional journal articles to encourage independent and in-depth research, and a CD-ROM is available to qualified instructors that features test questions and PowerPoint presentations.
