widespread problems of drug abuse, gang violence, and police corruption under
philosophical scrutiny. Character and Cops addresses the increased acceptance of
lower standards of behavior by public officials, the need for careful selection of law

individual rights and freedoms? To what extent do

chapters like "Why White Cops Kill Black Men" and
"Sexual Predators in Uniform," Stamper reveals a
force that can be racist, corrupt, overly militaristic,
and chauvinist, yet is also made up of brave and

like to kill a man, why drugs should be
decriminalized, the correct approach to prostitution

Police Ethics: A Matter of Character
Yet, police officers are given a limited amount of
training in police ethics. Often times, it consists
solely of a list of do's and don'ts. This book was
written to emphasize the importance of police
ethics. The authors seek to treat police officers
as the intelligent and knowledgeable people that
they are, instead of discussing what to do and
what not to do. This book discusses various
schools of ethical thought in a way that works
from the ground up, moving from a general
understanding toward practical applications.

Part of the reason the whole racial profiling mess
came to such a head was the NJSP themselves,
who, as a result of their staunch paramilitary
training and macho lone-wolf culture, have always
had trouble differentiating between pure elitism and
esprit de corps. Hogan gives some insight into this
culture. He also gives insight and replays for us the
despicable actions taken against Kenna and
himself during the political firestorm.

people can agree that the State's attempt to
prosecute two uniformed police officers for
attempted murder was ludicrous and frightening.
