Identify and describe a behavior by criminal justice organizations that was once practiced in these organizations but is no longer considered ethical. Examine and explain the former practice through the lens of consequentialism, deontology, and social constructivism.
Police integrity and ethics are fundamental to effective policing and help build trust within communities. Sound conduct by police improves community interactions, enhances communication, and promotes shared responsibility for addressing crime and disorder.
Police departments can repair and strengthen community relationships by understanding and training officers on three key concepts: procedural justice, bias reduction, and racial reconciliation. Together and when implemented, these concepts create an environment in which effective partnerships between the police and citizens can flourish.
Former practice through deontology and research will explain that Deontological moral systems are characterized by a focus upon adherence to independent moral rules or duties.

When we fail to follow our duty, we are behaving immorally.
