Ethics in CJ Discussion

1.For numerous reasons, prison and jail populations have increased exponentially in the past twenty years. Changes in federal and state sentencing policies are deemed related by some individuals. In those years when America fought against drugs, its society's actions were reflected. Nonetheless, multiple ethical concerns may clarify the increase in crime rate (Ariel & Bland, 2019). Supermax prison construction is an idea. An increase in ethical failures during decision-making can be seen as an example. Morally deficient decision-making is seen as the reason for crime from an ethical perspective. Failing to comprehend the wrongful impact of an action on a victim can lead to criminal behavior (Western et al., 2021). The ethical explanation of crime acknowledges that external factors contribute to the criminal behavior of certain individuals. Still, these factors don't exclusively lead to this conduct. The view of ethics also acknowledges that criminal conduct stems from a decision made using free will. The classical approach's assertion that the risk of apprehension controls the inherent tendency to engage in crime is contradicted (Ariel & Bland, 2019). One's decision-making is guided by ethical principles being present or absent, not by other factors.
