ETHICS IN JUSTICE 2

Ethics in its entirety is a broad subject. In the criminal justice system, ethics guide the

justice officers on the criminality or innocence of anyone. This, therefore, requires the

employment of high standards in the decisions made thereof. The movie in question, “training

day” by Denzel Washington. The movie clearly depicts some ethical and grossly unethical

actions taken by the officers in the movie.

The movie follows one officer of the Los-Angeles police department for a day. One of

them is a veteran narcotics officer while the other is on his first day in the narcotics division. The

movie is set in an inner-city Los-Angeles notorious for gangs, drugs and violence.

The movie has depicted and inner-city subculture owing to the feeling of marginalization due to

the poverty line differences. The setting of the movie is predominantly black and Hispanic with a

white minority. Violence and inner-city code is used, and it is depicted by the main character

over the movie.

The violence with which Alonzo forces his protégé cop to smoke week is the first taste of

the more violence depicted throughout the movie. When the two officers encounter an attempted

rape, they do not arrest the culprits but instead suggest the causing would deal with them.

According to Elijah Anderson, he describes this as the “code of the streets.” His explanation of

the “code of the streets” is a strict observance of interpersonal respect between residents and

even gangs. There is also strict regulation on inter-gang relations

A subculture set on the inner-city, dressing is a main factor. Alonzo is dressed in a quite

informal way to reinforce his fitting in the environment. He also resides in the projects to

reinforce his stature as one of them.
