Conclusion
It is clear that ethical criminal justice practitioners have an
infinitely positive impact on the criminal justice system and that
justice crumbles when ethics are replaced by selfishness and corruption.
The lack of ethics creates an untrustworthy system, which is not
supported by the public. Upholding ethics within the criminal justice
system will not only result in justice, but it will also ensure
cooperation with the public. Ethics are foundational to the criminal
justice system and to the achievement of it’s overarching goals:
preservation of peace and fulfillment of justice. Without ethics, peace
and justice are improbabilities and corruption is a foregone conclusion.
