Stephen Coleman | Conflict of Interest and Police: An Unavoidable Problem
Coleman states that conflicts of interest arise when we must exercise judgment on behalf of another individual. Any sense of loyalty that influences our judgment can compromise our ability to be fair. Coleman discusses what kinds of conflicts of interest arise for police officers and what kinds of problems they lead to, and he offers methods for dealing with them. He concludes that what is unique to police is that they often face unavoidable conflicts of interest while still being duty-bound to curtail the rights of others.
