Examine ethical issues within the criminal justice system and abroad and explain their social impact
INSTRUCTIONS
Students must identify an article that describes a modern ethical issue (criminal justice, forensic science, research science, medicolegal, social, etc.). The sources should come from major news outlets (e.g., BBC, NPR, Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times) or from peer-reviewed journal articles (e.g., Journal of Criminal Justice Ethics).
Each student must write a one page response to the article that contains: (1) a brief synopsis of the article content, (2) a description of what you think the main ethical issue is, (3) the social impact of the ethical issue described and (4) a working link to the article or a copy of the article.
Many articles will describe specific ethical dilemma(s) and you may include these, however, in order to receive full points, I will be looking for an analysis of the big picture ethical issue that encompasses the content you find.
