High levels of police corruption have been a persistent historical
tendency in police services throughout the world. While the general
area of concern in this book is with police corruption and
anti-corruption, the focus is on certain key philosophical and ethical
issues that arise for police organisations confronting corruption. On
the normative account proffered in this book the principal
institutional purpose of policing is the protection of legally
enshrined moral rights and the principal institutional anti-corruption
arrangement is what is referred to as an integrity system. The latter
includes oversight bodies with investigative powers and internal
affairs departments as well as specific devices such as early
warning indicators, professional reporting mechanisms and integrity
tests. Key concepts analysed in the book include corruption, noble
cause corruption and collective moral responsibility. The key ethical
issues analysed include investigative independence,
professionalreporting, covert operations and integrity tests.
