The article discusses ethical issues. It tells about mugging arrest which was made under false pretense, ethical dilemma involving overheard police instructions regarding the arrest, maintaining the integrity of the criminal justice system, and snooping through landlord's papers. The article gives great background information.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

    I feel that I have been able to find plenty of information on how police corruption is defined, and some one how it is preformed on the police force. I feel that I could have found more on the types of cases and gone into more extent of where the cases where and if there is a pattern in certain areas of the U.S. In conclusion I think that police corruption is something that needs to be looked at closer and more understood why police feel the need to do it.
