Part Two of Unit Two Discussion: My response to the first ethical dilemma, on page 95 of the text book, differs from that of the second ethical dilemma. If my brother was a mobster and disappeared prior to his arrest, I would not cooperate with the police, even though it would be the right course of action. Mainly, due to me fearing for the lives of my family and myself. However, if I suspected my brother to be the Unabomber, I would alert the FBI of my suspicions. In this case, I would not be fearing retaliation. The fear of retaliation causes individuals and victims to be reluctant in cooperating with the police and/or prosecutors (Byrom, 2005). Therefore, they are willing to accept the consequences of their refusal (Byrom, 2005).

  • The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander

    1330 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first appearance of the notion of silence or lack of silence occurs at the first presence of the criminal justice system: the initial meeting with a police officer. During the War on Drugs, it became common for police officers to stop and frisk people, including those without suspicious behavior, in search of drug violations. Although, not against the law, the majority of people do not know that they have the option of declining such a search and refuse to answer any questions. Professor Tracey Maclin conducted a study regarding this phenomenon concluding, “the overwhelming majority of people who are confronted by police and asked questions respond, and when asked to be searched, they comply. This is the case even among those… who have every reason to resist these tactics because they actually have something to hide” (Alexander 66). Therefore, the finding suggests that only a few people do not fear a supposed consequence of not abiding by a police officer’s request. Hence, people remain silent and do n...

    No theories are presented; instead, the authors elect to analyze secondary data from previous studies, surveys, experiments, and other social science literature.

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to McCarthy's theory of RCT from 2002 people use the same thoughts and ideas when choosing to commit a crime that they use when choosing to do non-criminal activities.(Paternoster, Pogarsky, 2009, p. 107) According to this idea people choose to offend or not to offend based on their own preferences they weigh in risk factors, costs, and benefits always thinking about what happens if they get caught, if they do not get caught and if they decide ultimately to commit or not commit the crime. (Paternoster, Pogarsky, 2009, p.107) Criminals using the RCT would check out the types of crime available to them in their area then decide if the crime is worth the time. If robbing a bank and they know a possible murder is involved they may deter themselves away from the crime for fear of ...

  • My Personal Ethical Dilemma

    1830 Words  | 4 Pages

    An ethical dilemma unlike what most people believe, is not a decisions that is to be made between a right and wrong situation. Instead an ethical dilemma is a decisions that the “agent” makes between two course of action that may both be right or similar in nature. These two course of action need to be different but don’t necessarily have to be better than each other. In other words within this ethical dilemma, no matter what choice is being taken, there is an ethical principle that is being compromised and there really is no perfect solution to the problem.
