NYPD Frisk Program: Noble Cause Corruption

/in /by

Assignment 2: Video Analyses

Noble cause corruption follows the teleological model of ethics. The approach emphasizes “good ends” and is a product of police officer “overinvestment” in their work. Police officers believe that in foregoing established legal procedures they will more effectively remove criminals from the street and protect the public from harm. Examples of cause corruption include falsifying reports, planting or the fabrication of evidence, and/or exceeding or abusing lawful authority. In doing so, police officers believe that a desirable ends in achieved (Martinelli, 2006).

Before starting this Assignment, be sure you have read the Martinelli article titled “Unconstitutional Policing.” View the following video segments regarding police practices.
