This course will walk the student through what ethical investigation practices are, how they can impact an investigation as well as a career. In addition, this course will cover the attributes a successful investigator must possess and/or develop. Ethical behavior goes beyond simply knowing the difference between right and wrong; it is doing what is right. The purpose of promoting ethical investigation practices is to establish and promote clearly defined standards of conduct for investigators. These standards assist in protecting the investigator and the public.
There are five areas, or standards, of ethical behavior that every investigator must adhere to.
Ethical behavior means adhering to the following 5 standards:
- Confidentiality
- Honesty
- Ethical investigation practices
- Avoiding conflicts of interest
- Supporting equal rights
