Review Professional Conduct, 1996-97 (Inns of Court Bar Manuals) / Gaunt Inc.:There is nothing more important to a barrister's practice than a sound knowledge of the principles of professional conduct and an ability to apply them. In its "First Report on Legal Education and Training" (April 1996) the Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committee onLegal Education and Conduct identified "The Ethical Challenge" as one of the foremost challenges to the future education and training of lawyers. This manual provides the materials and practical guidance with which intending barristers can begin to meet the ethical challenge. It includes the full text of the Code of Conduct for the Bar of England and Wales with which all barristers must be familiar. By isolating, analysing, and encouraging students to apply the provisions of the Code the Manual gives a grounding in what might be called "traditional" or "vocational" professional conduct. In addition, the manual looks at professional conduct issues in a broader ethical context. It includes the summary of the Equality Code for the Bar, extracts from the Lord Justice Brooke on "Treating People Fairly", and from Barbara Hewson on "Harrassment: Law and Professional Ethics".

Review Computer Ethics (The International Library of Essays in Public and Professional Ethics) (The International Library of Essays in Public and Professional Ethics) / Ashgate Publishing:The study of the ethical issues related to computer use developed primarily in the 1980s, although a number of important papers were published in previous decades, many of which are contained in this volume. Computer ethics, as the field became known, flourished in the following decades. The emphasis initially was more on the computing profession: on questions related to the development of systems, the behaviour of computing professionals and so on. Later, the focus moved to the Internet and to users of computer and related communication technologies. This book reflects these different emphases and has articles on most of the important issues, organised into sections on the history and nature of computer ethics, cyberspace, values and technology, responsibility and professionalism, privacy and surveillance, what computers should not do and morality and machines.

Review Is the Good Corporation Dead? / Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.:Can corporations remain socially responsible in today's fiercely competitive global economy? For several decades after World War II, companies like IBM, which exemplified what journalist Robert J. Samuelson called the "good corporation," poured forth material comforts and technological ideas while guaranteeing full employment and adequate retirement. In the 1980s all of that changed, as corporations moved to "downsize" and become lean, mean global competitors. In this collection, thirteen prominent scholars in business ethics, finance, management, and religion and six corporate leaders respond to a new essay by Samuelson that sounds the death knell of the "good corporation. " They propose new approaches to corporate integrity and social responsibility in the global economy. The book will be useful in corporate workshops and will make an excellent business ethics text in philosophy departments and business schools.

Review Professionalism Reborn: Theory, Prophecy, and Policy / University Of Chicago Press:In industrialized societies, professionals have long been valued and set apart from other workers because of their specialized knowledge and skill. But has their role in these societies declined? Of what significance are they today?In this concise synthesis of the major debates about the professions since World War II, Eliot Freidson explores several broad questions about professionalism today—what it is, what its future is likely to be, and its value to public policy. Freidson argues that because professionalism is based on specialized knowledge, it is distinct from either bureaucratic or market-based forms of work. He predicts a rebirth of the professions during which practitioners lose some of their independence and become more accountable to standards of a professional elite. And, defending professionalism as a desirable method of providing complex, discretionary services to the public, Freidson argues that market-based or bureaucratic methods would impoverish the quality of service to consumers, and suggests ways the virtues of professionalism can be reinforced. The most accessible survey available of almost fifty years of theory and research by the scholar whose own work helped define the field, this book will appeal to the growing international body of scholars concerned with studying and theorizing about the professions.

Review Human Dignity and the Police: Ethics and Integrity in Police Work / Charles C. Thomas Publisher:The guiding theme of this book is that integrity in police work is essential to viable and effective law enforcement. This is discussed in Section 1 along with how to oversee and control the behavior and actions of police. Section 2 presents case studies from several countries where police violations of citizens¹ human dignity have been particularly egregious. Section 3 contains four chapters which detail past and current efforts to prevent police abuse, including police departmental initiatives and strategies, governmental endeavors through the courts and laws, efforts of nongovernmental organizations such as the United Nations and the role of the press. Section 4 is the core of the book and describes in detail the John Jay College human dignity course, the learning approach taken, the philosophical assumptions, and the model which emerged so that the reader can obtain an understanding of how the course operates. Chapters in this section also discuss the role of the trainer, the course as change agent, and human dignity training in the broader context of police training generally and community policing in particular. This book is most important because it presents positive and effective steps that can be taken to change the culture of policing through carefully constructed, appropriate training and individual development. The audience for this book begins with the police - training academies; managers; local, state, and federal police departments. It would also be an excellent supplementary text in college courses on policing, criminal justice ethics, and comparative policing. In addition, the book would be appropriate for policymakers as well as the general public with concerns about policing in their communities.
