HUSB 255 - Transformational Alternatives: The Complexities of Ethical Actions


This course will be a theoretical and experiential examination of the moral decision-making processes brought to bear in the personal and professional life of the criminal justice practitioner. Class participants will conduct an inquiry into various works of moral philosophy and will examine the ways that morality and ethics inform personal and professional behaviors. Through analyses of essays, short stories, poems, and research studies, students will consider applications of ethical actions as they pertain to issues of social justice. Finally, the student will be brought to an awareness of the necessity of the means for advocating significant and substantive change in the criminal justice workplace.
