"The text introduces the reader to ethical decision making in the first chapter and then presents three major ethical perspectives: virtue, formalism, and utilitarianism. The text then moves to the social and criminal justice contexts, in which ethics is discussed in separate chapters as it relates to law, police, courts, corrections, and liability in general. The final chapter looks to the future development of ethics in everyday life."--BOOK JACKET.
