Section 2.2 explores the critical role of bias and reasoning in ethical decision-making within the criminal justice system. This section will dissect how biases—both conscious and unconscious—can affect the judgments and actions of criminal justice professionals. Additionally, it will examine the reasoning processes that underpin decision-making, emphasizing the need for clear, rational, and ethical thinking in high-pressure environments. By understanding these elements, students will be better equipped to identify, analyze, and mitigate biases in their future careers, leading to fairer and more just outcomes.
