Assignment:
Please watch the movie,"LA Confidential" and respond to the question below, a minimum of 200 words.
ETHICAL DILEMMAS:
The purpose of this course is to provide a way of thinking about police ethical dilemmas, and for police officers to think ethically about their work. Accurate information about the prevalence of police corruption is hard to come by, since the corrupt activities tend to happen in secret and police organizations have little incentive to publish information about corruption. One study of corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department (focusing particularly on the Rampart Scandal) proposed that certain forms of police corruption may be the norm, rather than the exception in American policing. Understanding that this film was made for entertainment, in what areas of the film do you feel substantiate this concept? Please provide one example.
