2023 Spring Term (1) Jurisprudence LAW 301 98[40552] (John Jay College)
Description
Stop and Frisk” is a lawful police action. With “Reasonable Suspicion” a police officer is allowed to stop an individual and question them about possible criminal activity. It also allows the police to frisk the individual for any weapons. The frisk can result in nothing being found to a gun being found [and everything in between.] Recently the use of “Stop and Frisk” has declined dramatically from record highs.
Make a Utilitarianism argument to support the use of “Stop and Frisk”.
Counter with a short argument using a theory [from the book] to argue against the use of “Stop and Frisk” in large numbers. Name the theory.
This is not a question asking for your personal feelings on the matter. We are examining ethical theories and applying them to a real situation.
.
Deontological Ethics – normative ethics – consequentialist ethics and utilitarianism – the categorical imperative -comparing utilitarianism and deontology are some of the theories we reviewed.
