Item Ethics training in law enforcement agencies(Public Integrity, 2009) Wyatt-Nichol, Heather; Franks, GeorgeProfessional organizations in the law enforcement community have brought attention to the importance of ethics training. Many police chiefs believe that it reinforces the mission of the organization, adherence to policy and procedures, and the ability to resolve moral dilemmas. This article examines ethics training among police chiefs throughout the United States. The frequency of training, content, and instruction, as well as perceptions of the value of ethics training, are addressed. Results indicate that preservice ethics training among recruits is typically four hours or less. The content of instruction includes a variety of tools representing a student-centered approach. There is a perception among chiefs that ethics instruction is worthwhile and should be offered throughout an officer's career regardless of rank.Item Predatory Practices in Higher Education(Public Integrity, 2016) Naylor, LorendaAt the core of ethics is training and education. If we are to expect our college graduates to behave ethically once they enter the workforce, then the institutions that educate and train them need to adhere to the same principles. American universities have come under close scrutiny due to their rising tuition costs. From 1980 to 2011, college tuition increased by 244% (Mettler, 2014), which has made college education out of reach for most Americans. Public universities have increased tuition and fees in response to decreased funding by state legislatures. In addition, the percentage of tenured and tenure-track faculty has decreased from 40% to 25%, while administrative positions have increased by 221%. However, the more egregious behavior has been that of private, for-profit institutions that engage in predatory practices.
