ESSAY
82. Explain the difference between absolute ethics and relative ethics and why relative ethics can
pose a problem for police agencies.
ANS:
Absolute ethics has only two sides—right and wrong. Either something is acceptable or it is
not (such as breaking the law, lying under oath). Relative ethics are not as clear. They are the
proverbial "gray" areas because not everyone will agree on the course of action that should be
taken. This can be a problem for police agencies when the community allows officers to act in
a manner that is not entirely legal in order to keep the community safe (the ends justify the
means). This could include an officer giving false testimony to ensure a conviction for a
suspect widely believed to have committed a terrible crime.
PTS: 1 DIF: Medium REF: under heading: Types of Ethics

83. How does noble cause corruption differ from the principle of double effect?
ANS:
The principle of double effect essentially states that the ends justify the means; when an act is
committed to achieve a good end, although the outcome is negative, the act may be justified.
This distinction with noble cause corruption is when actions operate on a standard that places
personal morality above the law. Noble cause corruption often involves a feeling of arrogance
or being above the law.
PTS: 1 DIF: Medium REF: under heading: Noble Cause Corruption

84. What is the difference between "accepted lying" and "deviant lying"?
ANS:
Accepted lying would include police activities intended to arrest or entrap suspects. Deviant
lying, however, would include activities in which officers lie under oath to ensure a
conviction of a suspect, or the officer is otherwise dishonest about activity that is illegal,
against departmental policy, or is unacceptable to the public or the department in general.
PTS: 1 DIF: Medium REF: under heading: Accepted and Deviant Lying
85. What are the two arguments against police accepting gratuities?
ANS:
The first argument is the slippery slope argument—at some point, an officer engaging in
relative ethics will slip beyond the acceptable into unacceptable or illegal behavior. The other
argument is that once an officer accepts a minor gift or gratuity, he or she is obligated to
provide the donors with some special service or accommodation—the donor will expect
something in return.
PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: under heading: Accepting Gratuities

86. What is meant by the tenet of the Code of Judicial Conduct that judges should avoid the
appearance of impropriety?
ANS:
It means that it is not enough that judges do the right thing; they must also avoid any conduct
or behavior that fosters a belief in others that the judge's ability to carry out his or her
responsibilities with integrity, impartiality, and competence is somehow impaired.
PTS: 1 DIF: Medium REF: under heading: The Judge

87. Explain the concept of "the bell, the book, and the candle."
ANS:
This concept gives the standard of (a) do warning bells go off as one considers their choice of
actions, (b) does it violate any laws or codes in the statute or ordinance books, and (c) will
one's decision withstand the light of day or spotlight of publicity?
