?Liberally illustrated with challenging cases, this volume marshals and discusses the many ethical problems encountered by police investigators. In an area that tends to be governed by pragmatic considerations, it provides an important check on the desire and pressure for results.? ?John Kleinig, John Jay College of Criminal Justice ?Rarely has the publication of a work exploring modern crime investigation shown such a thorough grasp of the myriad challenges, many of them ethical, facing tenacious investigators.? ?Sir Dan Crompton, Former UK Police Chief and HM Inspector of Police Investigative Ethics is applied philosophy of the best sort. Its thoughtful analysis of foundational issues in police ethics?at once sophisticated and accessible?will provide a valuable resource for philosophers, legal academics, and police practitioners. ?Stuart Green, Rutgers Law School ?Investigative Ethics makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of critical and informed literature on criminal investigative practice. While aimed at police detectives and criminal investigators, it has much to offer professional administrative investigators. Highly recommended.? ?Nigel Savidge, Lead Integrity Specialist, Asian Development Bank
