Discussion: Ethical Issues in Criminal Justice Research Until the end of
Discussion: Ethical Issues in Criminal Justice Research Until the end of the 1970s, the research process was largely unregulated. This lack of regulation allowed some scientists to either fail to consider or ignore the ethical implications of their research and to carry out horrendous experiments. For example, the U.S. Public Health Service funded a study known as the Tuskegee Experiment, which started in the 1920s and continued well into the 1970s. This study was designed to examine the progression of syphilis in poor, urban African-American males. None of the subjects were told they had syphilis, and some were treated with placebos even though a cure for this disease was available. Since that time, however, significant safeguards have been put in place to prevent these types of ethical violations. Today, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are responsible for evaluating ethical issues that might surface, especially those concerned with the protection of human subjects prior to the commencement of a research project. Multiple safeguards ensure that many of the ethical violations that might have occurred in the past are now prevented. To prepare: Recall the research problem you chose in Week 1 Identify one ethical issue that is relevant to that research problem. Consider how you would address this ethical issue using ethical standards from the Code of Ethics of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS). Post a brief description of an ethical issue in criminal justice research generally or related to the research problem you identified in Week 1. Then explain how you might address it using ethical standards from the ACJS Code of Ethics.

Explain the role of intuition in decision making. Main post 300 words:with 2 APA format references Reply post 150 words minimum classmate post: Over the years, the growth of popular fascination has been high with the way in which experts make rapid and efficient decisions. Intuition plays a vital role in expert decision-making as described in Welch’s theories, which emphasis on the analysis of different phenomena (Jerad H.Moxley, 2012). Intuitive decision making can be explained as a process in which acquired information through associated learning and kept in long term memory can be accessed unconsciously to form fundamental decision or judgment. Thus, the way in which experts come up with intuition and using it effectively in the organization may influence effectiveness and practices of the organization significantly. The roles of intuition in the decision-making process are discussed below. Intuition in the decision-making process plays a vital role in the strategic thinking level (Henning Plessner, 2011). Strategic thinking is a method of synthesis that makes use of creativity and intuition in order to integrate the vision and future of the company. It is essential to use intuition as it creates more opportunities in obtaining a comprehensive solution more so when dealing with complex and challenging situations. Furthermore, intuitive potential inactive top-level leaders are among the essential abilities required in decision-making and play a significant role in improving managerial effectiveness. Some managers may underestimate their potential intuitiveness hence making wring decisions. Elimination of restrictions on the use of potential intuitive is essential by improving the potentiality and raising its level of consumption (Damien Organ, 2016). It can be concluded that intuition is vital in both strategic decision level and top-level management characterized by the high level of complexity and difficulty. References Damien Organ, B. O.

Collapse An organizational culture must be created where employees feel a personal commitment to contributing to the ethical behavior of their organization. A firm’s reputation depends on its ethical culture. Both clients and employees must want to be involved with this organization because they trust its reputation. They believe in this organization.

A code of conduct that outlines the firm’s core values, ethical standards, and ethical expectations helps guide those processes. What particular “ingredients” should be included in an ethics program in order to attract clients and the best employees? Part I: Craft your response as a “recipe” for an effective code of ethics and business conduct (e.g., two portions professional conduct, half a portion of fairness, one portion respect for others). Part II: Explain why you chose those particular ingredients, and justify the measurements for each.
