Noble cause corruption is corruption caused by the adherence to a teleological ethical system, suggesting that persons "will utilize unethical, and sometimes illegal, means to obtain a desired result,"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Noble cause corruption: Do the ends justify the means? )〕 a result which appears to benefit the greater good. Where traditional corruption is defined by personal gain,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Noble Cause Corruption )〕 noble cause corruptions forms when someone is convinced of their righteousness, and will do anything within their powers to obtain or concertize the execution of righteous actions. Ultimately, noble cause corruption is police misconduct "committed in the name of good ends"〔http://www.ethicsinpolicing.com/noble-cause-corruption.asp〕 or neglect of due process through “a moral commitment to make the world a safer place to live."〔John Crank, Dan Flaherty, Andrew Giacomazzi, (The noble cause: An empirical assessment )〕 Conditions for such corruption usually begin where individuals perceive no administrative accountability, lack of morale and leadership, and the general absence of faith within the criminal justice system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Police Chief Magazine - View Article )〕 These conditions can be compounded by arrogance and weak supervision.〔http://www.ethicsinpolicing.com/noble-cause-corruption.asp〕 ==Origin== In 1983, Carl Klockars critiqued the film Dirty Harry, as an example of the kinds of circumstances that seemed to justify what later became known as noble cause corruption. Within the story, three central actions demonstrate manifestations of noble cause corruption: illegal entry, torture, and murder.〔(The noble cause: An empirical assessment ), , John Crank, et al, Jounal of Criminal Justice, p 105〕 Klockars believed this problem, which he dubbed 'the Dirty Harry problem', was a chief consideration of police work. He details how officiers occasionally face problems in which they have to select between competing ethical codes. Often the choice is between legal means, which is playing by society's rules though dangerous offenders may go free, or extralegal means, which entails breaking the law to prevent truly dangerous offenders from committing additional crimes.〔(The Dirty Harry Problem ) Carl B. Klockars, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Vol. 452, The Police and Violence. (Nov., 1980), pp. 33-47.〕 In 1989, however, the term of "noble cause corruption" was first coined by Edwin Delattre. Delattre was troubled that police officiers might conceive of a goal or outcome that justified the use of questionable means, in particular, the use of force to obtain confessions. He argued that "some ways of acting were unacceptable no matter how noble the end." From Delattre's work, the noble cause has emerged as a problemitization for the utilitarian commitment to outcomes, for it permits a society to be protected through aggressive and illegal policing tactics.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noble cause corruption」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
