THE IMPORTANCE OF POLICE ETHICS FOR THE REPUTATION OF THE POLICE IN SOCIETY

Legal state is a democratic creation that is based on legal certainty and rule of law and is a form of state in which all subjects are bound by the law, where it is crucial that this refers to state authorities that have a monopoly over power and directly encroach the sphere of human rights. Acting according to the principle of legally is brought before the police as an imperative of great importance. Although this principle is, without a doubt, primary in the police work, it will not be the central topic of this paper. The goal of the author is to move focus of the paper towards the importance of adhering to ethical principles and standards, basic principles of democratic work of the police, as well as strengthening trust of citizens in the police in order to create safe community with accessible and ethically inclined police that responsibly act together with the community in identifying and solving security issues.

Discriminant analysis predicted undisciplined policemen

In the wider spectrum of Taiwanese public service spheres, the herculean services and dedication of its committed Police personnel have long been recognized, respected, and admired. However, regrettably, question marks concerning their conduct, discipline, and abuse of power have surfaced on intermittent occasions. A classic example that lingers in the public memory is the bribing of Taiwanese video game companies to some unscrupulous elements of the police department, in the closing decades of the 20th century that triggered public outrage and called for scrutiny concerning serious lapses in the discipline and conduct of Police personnel. This research paper endeavors to understand, analyze and address some of those issues based on empirical data on the police personnel of certain specific work zones/areas taking into account holistically both the sentenced police officers vis-à-vis the law-abiding police officers. This module looks into and sieves through available data for seven critical variables, including their degree of variation through the Identification and Analysis Method to develop a Predictive Model on Police Ethics and the important factors that affect Police Ethics. Concretely based on the integrated research, it is proposed that this Predictive Model has good applicability as well as accurate predictive ability in addressing the core issues that affect Police Ethics. It is hoped that through this Early Warning Predictive Model—all the stakeholders that are Policy and Decision-makers, Regulatory Police Agencies but more importantly the Police personnel themselves would effectively address the criticality of the issues that affect the Police Ethics so as to undertake competent and effective measures to erase/lessen the menace and provide an early rehabilitative care/assistance to build a strong, constructive and visionary Taiwanese Police Force to meet the challenges of 21st century and beyond.

Risk Distribution between UN Peacekeepers and Local Civilians: An Ethical Analysis

Since the beginning of UN peace operations, there has been discussion as to exactly how they should be carried out. Thus far, a just theory of UN peacekeeping operations has not yet been formed, in the way a Theory of Just War for waging war or a theory of police ethics for law enforcement in a peace context had been formed. The article discusses what a justified risk distribution between UN peacekeepers and local civilians should be. One of the points of criticism of UN peacekeeping missions is the lack of protection of the local population in the course of an escalating situation. Familiar examples are the traumas of Rwanda (1994) and Srebrenica (1995). Discussing differences between UN peacekeeping missions, warfare, and law enforcement, it appears that peacekeepers have more in common with law enforcers than with combatants during wartime. Through the method of analogy and by applying some typically military ethics principles, the moral status of the UN peacekeepers is analyzed. Finally, a risk distribution analysis between UN peacekeepers and the local population is carried out, by offering a concise overview by philosophers of arguments for and against taking fewer risks by peacekeepers. The analysis reveals important deontological and consequentialist arguments. Taking also into consideration that transferring more risk to the peacekeeping troops alone does not mandatory lead to less exposure to risk of the vulnerable and innocent local civilians, it can be concluded that a more practical, virtuous, responsible risk calculation will be necessary at that point to find the best risk distribution.

POLICE TRAINING TO POLICE EDUCATION: A PARADIGM SHIFT IN POLICE CURRICULUM

Police Education and Training is central to the successful realization of the constitutional democracy and protection of human rights. An attempt is made in this paper to evolve a curriculum framework for a people-sensitive Police Training and Education. One of the important objectives of this framework is to search for quality, standards, guidelines, and a general conceptual platform for improving basic Police Education and Training. This paper also aims at identifying general curricular parameters related to the development of a culture of policing, making policing practices more democratic and public-oriented to ensure greater security and more effective crime prevention. This paper argues that it is illogical, detrimental, and undesirable to separate police training from police education. Since policing is a highly respected professional field like medicine, it is imperative to integrate knowledge about society, dynamics of social and geopolitical spaces and human development from the complex socio-political perspective with police ethics and social and civic responsibilities and so on. In conclusion, this paper shows how people-sensitive and philosophically sound curricular policy for police education would serve people, communities, and societies. The ideas and insights in this paper are derived from the best practices available in the country and across the globe.

Police ethics and integrity: Keeping the ‘blue code’ of silence

This paper examines attitudes towards police ethics and integrity using the responses of police officers and support staff to some ethical dilemmas via an online questionnaire. The aim of the study was to explore potential connections between respondents’ beliefs about the seriousness or type of misdemeanour and their likelihood of reporting the behaviour. Using a series of scenarios, we explore professional ethics and integrity by analysing the evidence from our survey of around 1,500 police officers, police community support officers (PCSOs) and police support staff. Throughout, we aim to show which of the scenarios were considered the most ‘serious’, which are more likely to be reported, and offer some suggestions as to why the ‘blue code’ is significant. The findings suggest the persistence of a reluctance to report some misdemeanours; of the 10 scenarios created for the survey, there was a great deal of certainty around the reporting theft of cash, but respondents were less likely to report a colleague keeping a ‘found’ watch. Accessing the Police National Computer without due authority was seen as relatively ‘serious’ and covering up for a drink-driving colleague and use of excessive force were both likely to be reported. We discovered ambiguities in responses around sexual touching of a colleague in an office setting, but a lower level of concern regarding an officer who forms a romantic relationship with a victim of crime who he met in a professional setting. Respondents expressed distrust in the force’s anonymous messenger system, set up for reporting a colleague’s behaviour without revealing their own identity and said they could treat a whistle-blower with respect or caution, depending on the circumstances of the individual case.

This paper proposes to explain the role of police as the main law enforcement agency in any democratic country. An Attempt has been made to bring different perspectives of ethics which comprises views of Aristotle, Machiavelli, Immanuel Kant, J S Mill and John Rawls. The paper focuses on police Ethics. Police ethics’ reflects the society and the regulations that shape the policing system. Discuss the results and analysis of the consequences of moral degradation caused by the Police.
