This new edition introduces readers to the core principles of ethical reasoning and their applications to the contemporary concerns and dilemmas faced by Canada’s law enforcement and public safety professionals, including police, correctional officers, border services, security, and others. 

Part I discusses the importance of critical thinking, approaches and frameworks for ethical decision-making, and professional codes of ethics. Part II includes examinations of contemporary ethical issues, roles and responsibilities, use of force, and corruption.
