Write an essay engaging this topic: Some say that the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics is a classic example of utopian platitudes. We often hear from "the good ol' boys" that today's advanced education of police officers and this code too are unrealistic exercises that waste the time of the police. Worse, some of the good ol' boys suggest that taking such "book learning" seriously can actually be dangerous. What do they mean? Do you agree or disagree? Why? What might you say to a good ol' boy if you could discuss this with him? (Instructors: Have your class bring their essays for reflection and analysis and then lead them in a discussion and/or debate about this classic, contemporary argument.)
