Leadership in criminal justice plays an important due to that it set up for people to follow an ethical course of act. Having a strong ethical value behind the leadership in criminal justice means that those in the lower ranks will follow have a wanting to following those above them by decisions that are made by those that are above them. This would be a trickle down effect. Ethics and leadership good hand in hand. If a leader lacks ethics then what good will he be in making in making his own important decision that could effect where he works and not to mention the example that he is setting for those that are below him.
I agree with crim112mccoy, by that without ethics there would be no need for leadership in the criminal justice system due to no one wanting to have to be told what ethical standards that they are to follow.

To put it simply, if there are no ethics in criminal justice, how can they install ethical behavior in society?

| I agree. If you don't lead by example only bad things happen. I've worked enough low-paying jobs to know bad leadership when I see it. Sometimes people don't realize that when they are in charge of a group, they need to act in a way that is respectful to those around them. When they only try to act like a leader to impress, they don't always get the repect needed to fill the job right.

I wouldn't say that there are no ethics in crimminal justice. I would instead say that the ethics code is simply not always followed to accomidate everyone's needs. There is also a point where some people have just been on the job so long that ethics change from good to bad. But if Ethics arn't followed enough, the department will step in and take control.

| The of ethics and leadership relate a whole lot to criminal justice. When people think of the criminal justice system, a big part of that deals with exactly that. As role moddels for many kids and keepers of the peace, members of the criminal justice system must absolutely behave an a ethical way. The idea with leadership is that one must be a leader at one point or another in their carreer. It is a given that a situation will call for any person to take on a leader role. Knowing how to be a leader will certainly aid this person and that is exactly why ethics and leadership relate to criminal justice

| I agree with Shultz in that people in the criminal justice system need to lead by example. I wrote something similar to that because I too believe that leaders and their actions are always under the public lens and that not doing what is right will result in a trickle down effect. Very well said by Shultz.

i agree with "kirby". Whom stated it very well. How can society look toward the law as an example of how to act, if law enforcement doesnt provide an exellent example. If law enforcement doesnt perform ethically but expects it from society, then a double standard is created. When double standards are created, credibility is lost.
