Assignment
Ethical dilemmas permeate the criminal justice. At every level in each segment of the system people are exercising discretion that will impact on the fate of an individual and/or the security of the community. Incongruous laws regulations policies and practices create conflicts and distort the basis upon which judgments are made. Very often these conflicts result in an ethical dilemma. Which is the appropriate course of action? What is the moral/ethical rational for the decisions that were made? What purposes or principles are served? This project will ask you to consider a sequence of decisions (do or not do) all of which contribute directly or indirectly the final scene.
Foreach of the four (4) scenarios (in complete 1-2 pages EACH) your assignment is to:
1. Examine each situation and describe the ethical and/or moral question
2. Describe what you believe to be the motivation of the actor and the potential consequences of BOTH options
3. Identify the decision you believe the actor SHOULD make and
4. Provide the ethical basis for your decision.
5. NOTE: The scenarios are sequential. However each decision must be considered separately and not be influenced by earlier decisions and/or actions. For instance the decision to fund/not fund a new prisondoes notimpact on a later decision to sentence a convicted felon to incarceration. The sentencing dilemma is independent.
Scenarios
1. The Parole Board (complete 1-2 pages)
As the chair of the parole board Robert knows the state prisons are critically overcrowded. Advocates are threatening the corrections system with Federal suits. One alternative is to broaden the parole eligibility criteria to allow more inmates to be released to community-based supervision. However reviewing the current risk assessment results Robert is concerned that any further relaxation of standards may result in the release of inmates more likely to re-offend than he considers safe. Robert just received a call from the Governor asking him what the parole board can do to ease the overcrowding that will be the basis of the federal law suits. The Governor reminds Robert that if these suits are successful inmates will be released under a federal process outside the parole boards control. What does Robert as chair of the parole board tell the Governor?
2. The Warden (complete 1-2 pages)
William is the warden of a century-old correctional facility. Despite his best arguments his operating budget was severely cut for the fiscal year that just started which eliminated overtime for correctional officers and froze hiring of replacement employees. Almost all of the rest of his budget is dedicated to food and medical services for inmates and fixed utility costs. He was staffed for his average population (same as capacity population) but those numbers have skyrocketed due to an aggressive arrest and prosecute campaign. The facility is dangerously overcrowded with no foreseeable sign of relief. The major problem is staffing. William is concerned for the safety of his employees as well as the inmate population. He thinks that if his officers feel threatened they may report off for medical reasons resign or simply not report for duty; any of which would only exacerbate the problem. William does have an off-site work release program which could handle the additional inmates. However there is no risk assessment or screening process in place which means the designation of inmates to community-based work release would be based on unsupported security guess work. The union representatives for the security officers have a meeting with William to hear how the warden intends to ensure the safety of his members. How does William respond?
3. The District Attorney (complete 1-2 pages)
Martha ran a successful campaign for district attorney on a very conservative platform generally critical of plea bargaining and reduced prison sentences for convicted felons. The citys police chief following his mayors directive to take back the streets from gun-toting drug dealers has launched a very aggressive arrest campaign resulting in a dramatic increase in criminal cases. A review of sample cases clearly shows many of these arrests lack supportive probable cause and/or have very weak evidentiary support. As cases most are losers. Martha knows from the criminal records that most of the arrestees are heavily involved in the citys drug culture even if the current case is weak. She also knows that anything other than aggressive prosecution of these cases will portray her as unsupportive of the mayor and the police and reneging on her campaign pledge. Marthas chief of staff has asked her for some directive to her prosecutors as to how she wants these cases handled (trial plea bargain dismiss etc.). What direction should Martha give?
4. The Officer (complete 1-2 pages)
About 3:00am on a deserted street corner Linda a police officer confronts a young man acting in a manner which she recognizes from her experience and training as consistent with the mannerisms of a drug-deal look-out. Linda confronts the man and asks for his identification. She also asks him if he would empty his pockets for her. From one pocket the officer has recovered several vials which she recognized as crack cocaine; in the other pocket she finds $400 in cash. Linda remembers her sergeant at roll call chastising other officers for bringing in petty drug cases that just take time from patrol and clog the system. The department is getting complaints about overloaded dockets from the prosecutors office and there is no more room in the local jail. Earlier in the locker room fellow officers were griping about their colleagues who make themselves unavailable to handle calls for service because they are off processing some time-consuming minor arrest. With his pockets now empty the subject still has not produced any positive identification. At this point Linda knows nothing about the suspect… and she can’t find out unless she arrests and charges him so the suspect can be fingerprinted and positively identified… and Linda can’t arrest and charge the suspect without the contraband. At this point the police dispatcher calls for Linda and asks if she is available to serve as back-up for a burglary in progress call. What does Linda tell the dispatcher?

Unit V Case Study
A textile manufacturer is closing its North Carolina plant and moving the production of its produ
cts to a developing nation
in Southeast Asia. The primary reason for the move is the lower labor cost that the organization can enjoy in the new
location.
Proponents of the decision laud the move as a means to save the organization by taking advantage of
the free
market and finding cheaper methods of producing the companys goods.
Opponents of the decision state that a breach of trust existed between the company and
the employees and that
a breach of trust will occur due to this decision
. Additionally op
ponents cite recent findings that
contractors in the
Southeast Asia region where the company is moving have been cited for utilizing child labor and failing to provide
working conditions equivalent to those in the United States.
Officials in the Southeast
Asia region have answered the criticisms of the use of child labor by pointing out that
oftentimes children are the only individuals in a family who are capable of working and to deny them that
opportunity would create greater hardship on the already desp
erately poor population.
Based on the case study above apply the deontological and teleological frameworks learned in this unit to provide the
following information in your response:

ort their statement that it be considered
ethical.

Toms good friend Greg has worked for him for more than 12 years and 3 years ago they changed the name from Toms Firearms to Toms & Gregs Firearms even though Greg was not an owner.
Tom as the owner worked only part time at the store and put a lot of trust in Greg who ran the day to day business. Greg did all of the books ordered the inventory signed company checks and was there every day to see the customers. Recently Tom and Greg had been discussing how Greg could become a partner in the business. The store had inventory worth more than $275000 and Tom wanted Greg to buy-in to the business by paying him $100000 for a 1/3 share but Greg did not have anything close to that amount.
When Greg went on a two-week vacation Tom worked every day at the store. Tom had not looked at the banking records for several months and decided to go through the recent bank statements. Tom saw to his horror that Greg had been writing bad checks on the account to their suppliers; the bank was threatening to close the checking account and some suppliers had started to ship parts on a COD (cash on delivery) basis.
Tom decided to hire an investigator to see what was going on. The investigator discovered that Greg had been taking cash out of the register during his shifts and had started a competing business selling guns at local gun shows. The investigator also observed Greg taking inventory from the store and selling it at the gun shows.
Please answer the following three (3) questions:
(1) Can Tom sue Greg in tort for his actions? If so what torts do you think he committed?. Explain why you think Greg committed the torts.
(2) Can Greg be criminally prosecuted for his actions? If so what crimes do you think he committed? Explain why you think Greg committed the crimes.
(3) Explain the differences in the procedures that take place in (a) a civil lawsuit filed by Tom against Greg to recover damages for Gregs conduct and (b) a criminal prosecution of Greg for the same conduct.
