Professional Law Enforcement Codes:
A Documentary Collection
Compiled and Edited by John Kleinig with Yurong Zhang
Westport, CT : Greenwood Press, 1993

Although law enforcement codes have a history that parallels most other recent occupational and professional codes, they have been almost completely ignored in occupational and professional ethics literature. This volume fills that gap and offers teachers and law enforcement practitioners a rich selection of materials that have emerged in the course of law enforcement professionalization. Its detailed introduction covers the role of codes in professional life as well as the purposes, problems, and value of ethical codes. The volume focuses on past and contemporary codes of several countries including England, Australia, Canada and the United States, and its historical and international orientation reveals something of the development and variety of code formation. The substantial bibliography offers students and scholars of professional ethics a unique resource for further research.
