Should the police always act ethically?

Answer the following questions while keeping these points in mind:
  • Write at least five complete sentences in paragraph form with a good topic sentence and a good conclusion.
  • Use standard punctuation, spelling, grammar, and school-appropriate language.
  • If possible, use details from the novel to support your opinion.
Is it ethical to convict suspected criminals by any means? Should the police be able to follow suspected but unconvicted criminals to catch them committing other crimes? Should law enforcement officials be able to entrap suspected criminals? Should the police be able to do whatever it takes to get confessions from suspected criminals? Can the law ever be broken to make sure that suspected criminals are brought to justice?
