Search the web or publications for a news item or a scholarly article that suggests an ethical problem in government, criminal justice, emergency management or a non-profit agency performing a public function. This could involve a government official or agency, a public employee at any level of government, a police officer, a prosecutor, a judge, a probation or parole officer, a corrections officer, or an officer or employee of a for-profit or non-profit agency performing a public function (usually with public funds). Provide the class with a link or a copy of the article.
