This book attempts to deal with police ethics from a positivist approach. That is, the book spends little time talking about how police officers should avoid being guilty of misconduct and a lot of time talking about police officers having good character. Discuss the difference between "not making mistakes" and "doing the right thing."
What will be an ideal response?
Not making mistakes is a passive approach while doing the right thing is a proactive or aggressive approach.
