BS CRIMINOLOGY 3 BLOCK 1

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AND ETHICAL STANDARDS

ASSIGNMENT No.2 (MIDTERM)

DIRECTION: All answers must be from your own, it mustn`t be less than 200 words.

PLEASE AVOID PLAGIARISM. COPY PASTE ANSWER WILL NOT BE GIVEN A SCORE!

SITUATION:

There are many challenges to Police Ethical Behavior that affect the PNP organization. An example
of this is the involvement of some PNP members in crimes as perpetrator rather than protector. Based
on statistics, most crimes by police officers were found to have been committed by Patrolman (PO1)
– Police Staff Sergeant (PO3) ranks.

A. From the facts above, identify one glaring reason why some members of the PNP
organization are involved in the commission of crimes. Justify your answer. (Not less than
50 words).

Because they knew that there was more money to be made from the bribes and from looking
the other way during illegal activities than from a meager salary. Corruption is one of the worst
maladies affecting any police force. They have been entrusted with the well-being of the
population and instead of protecting them, they become their victimizers.

B. What solution can you proposed to at least minimize or eradicate the reason (your answer
in letter a) that affects the ethics of the PNP? (Not less than 150 words).

I think the solution can I proposed to at least or eradicate the crime committed by our police officer
is to increase their salary in order for them to earn more money and to avoid doing illegal activities
and also by illuminating those persons who played law enforcers for their protection when they are
doing illegal activities.
