Business ethics; Legal ethics & professional conduct

"Cheating is deeply embedded in everyday life.

The costs of the most common forms of cheating total close to a trillion dollars annually. Part of the problem is that many individuals fail

to see such behavior as a serious problem. ""Everyone does it"" is a common rationalization, and one that

comes uncomfortably close to the truth. That perception is also self-perpetuating. The more that individuals believe that cheating is widespread, the easier it becomes to justify. Yet what is most notable about analysis of the problem is how little there is of it.

Whether or not Americans are cheating more, they appear to be worrying about it less. In Cheating, eminent legal scholar Deborah L. Rhode offers the only recent comprehensive account of cheating in everyday life and

the strategies necessary to address it.

Because cheating is highly situational, Rhode drills down on its most common forms in sports, organizations,

taxes,

academia, copyright infringement, marriage, and insurance and mortgages. Cheating also reviews strategies necessary to address

the pervasiveness and persistence of cheating in these contexts. We clearly need more cultural reinforcement of ethical conduct. Efforts need to begin early, with values education by

parents,

teachers, and other role models who can display and

reinforce moral behaviors.

Organizations need to create ethical cultures, in which informal norms,

formal policies, and reward structures all

promote integrity. People also need more moral triggers that remind them of their own values. Equally important are more effective enforcement

structures,

including additional

resources and stiffer sanctions. Finally, all of us need to take more responsibility for combatting cheating. We need not only to subject our own conduct to more demanding standards, but also to assume a greater obligation to

prevent and report misconduct. Sustaining a culture that actively discourages cheating is a collective responsibility,

and one in which we all have a substantial stake."

Reviews for Cheating: Ethics in Everyday Life

"""The work as a whole is eminently readable and extremely well researched and referenced, showing a true multidisciplinary approach to a concept of high complexity. The author never gets bogged down in technicality, but keeps the text engaging to read by interspersing hard academic data with items from the news and punchy quotes from literature. It is recommended reading for professionals of many disciplines."" -- Mark Wing, Mountbatten Journal of Legal Studies"
