What are the most important protections from the Bill of Rights to be afforded to modern technological communications?

/in /by

Each advance in technology brings with it moral questions about its application in the modern world. The ability of police and other agencies to monitor what were once private conversations and communications raises serious ethical questions about the right to privacy and the government’s “need to know.”

Information Technology and Moral Values (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/it-moral-values/) explores the relationship between morality and modern technologies (Sullins, 2012).

In this discussion, provide the framework for an ethical policy that protects privacy while ensuring security. What are the most important protections from the Bill of Rights to be afforded to modern technological communications?

Guided Response:

Whenever examining technology issues in criminal justice, always consider how to improve the system.

When there are technological advances, security concerns are often paramount. How much of a role can/should the government play in new technology, and ethically, what are the rights of people to privacy when choosing new technology?

If this basic premise is true, what does it say about our criminal justice system if people of different races and ethnicity are treated differently?

/in /by

Guided Response:

Morality in criminal justice must be a function of treating all people equally. If this basic premise is true, what does it say about our criminal justice system if people of different races and ethnicity are treated differently?

The common symbol for the law is a blindfolded woman holding a balanced scale of justice. Can we say, as a society and as a criminal justice profession that the law is truly blind to such issues in its application?

How does this status of preparedness and aggressive interdiction affect the creation, design, and implementation of morality policies in the criminal justice field?

/in /by

Many commentators label the current “War on Terrorism” as a state of perpetual war.

In this discussion, discuss the morality and expectations for the criminal justice system to be engaged in such a “war.” How does this status of preparedness and aggressive interdiction affect the creation, design, and implementation of morality policies in the criminal justice field?

Guided Response: Examine the implications of a nation continually in a state or war. Do ethical systems become irrelevant in light of a consistent, aggressive foreign policy, or is the need for moral action and rules more imperative in such a culture?
