PPP144 Ethical Practice & Decision Making 1B (4)
Abstract
This subject enables students to identify and respond professionally and appropriately to the moral dimensions of police work. It focuses on the importance of ethical officers to a professional police organisation. Furthermore, it enables students to identify key professional issues in the police work environment. It also introduces students to the topics of corruption and moral vulnerability as well as conflicts of interest, corruption resistance, reporting misconduct and professional practice. This Session 1B subject addresses this learning through introductions to key principles and some extension of these through ongoing application. This scaffolds students towards the Session 2 PPP136 Ethical Practice and Decision Making 2 subject in which such understanding and application is extended and deepened.
