The ethical framework work that I agree with most is the Natural Law. This law states that “what is good is that which is natural” (Pollock, 1998 pg. 48). This theory states that a person knows right from wrong because it comes naturally to everyone. I believe this framework to be true because no matter where an individual grew up, each of us were taught right from wrong naturally. From birth, we begin to learn what’s morally right simply by experiencing it ourselves. For example, as children not being able to take things out of the store that we admired was upsetting. After having several talks with our parents about putting it down because taking it would be considered stealing, we realized that taking something that you didn’t rightfully

Stohr and Walsh (2016) mention that the reason some individual act unethically is because of their own personal gain or out of selfishness. Another reason someone may act out is because of official deviance. This means they act unethically to aid in the benefit of their company. This can include doing something just to keep their job or place in an organization. Lastly, noble cause is where individuals do the right thing by doing the wrong thing. The text book used “the tower” and “the blood of the victim” (Stohr and Walsh 2016). The tower describes when a correctional officer run into a situation endangering themselves to protect a victim. The blood of a victim explains how CO’S sometimes go to questionable measure such as planting false evidence on a suspect to help the victim. The correctional workplace is prone to these incidents because many times a suspect is let off the hook because evidence can’t be provided and it’s the only way to convict a guilty individual. Also, the correctional workers must behave unethical to show the suspects who’s in charge so they don’t develop the wrong idea about them and begin to …show more content…
Although I can be very soft hearted when it comes to children, I would act so the individual understands that she has been giving several opportunities to stop smoking marijuana and she has failed to do so. The punishment that I choose may not be harsh but I do believe that something need to be done, because the meetings and classes she’s attended does not seem to be helping her understand what she’s at risk for. I believe the ethics of virtue and egoism best applies to the case because, the individual knows right from wrong. She has attended every meeting and knows that she shouldn’t be partaking in use of any drug; she is doing it for her own personal desire and isn’t considering the consequences that’ll affect her children. She has this knowledge which should take sentencing disparity out of play. Sentencing disparity occurs when there is a wide variation in sentences received by different offenders (Stohr and Walsh 2016). Taking it out would be legitimate because this would entail considering the offenders prior records. She has used drugs before which is why she’s being looked over but she has yet to stop using them, meaning she hasn’t learned her lesson. It would be illegitimated if after being tested and receiving negative results she still convicted. In this situation and as well as racial sentencing the crime seriousness and criminal record play an important in researching the discrepancies in each
