"Becoming Ethically Marketable" contains information that every Criminal Justice Professional hopeful needs to know. It is written in response to an alarming trend whereby criminal justice candidates meet all of the requisite qualifications such as education, age, and citizenship but are still unable to obtain employment in their field. The problem is that they are unable to pass background screenings or investigations due to derogatory information contained in their pasts. And unlike other stumbling blocks, it is unlikely that much can be done to correct a background problem - the past is what it is. "Becoming Ethically Marketable" sounds the alarm to get prospective criminal justice candidates to understand the importance of and encourage them to present unsullied backgrounds--thereby becoming ethically marketable if it is their intent to obtain work in the field.

"Becoming Ethically Marketable" is designed to be a tool for criminal justice majors and recruits as well as those educators responsible for developing their careers. Whether the reader is a criminal justice major or recruit; a college professor responsible for teaching introductory courses or ethics; a police academy director or instructor; a police administrator or recruiter; or a mentor--there is information of value contained within the pages of "Becoming Ethically Marketable." Candidates will value the frank advice to help them determine whether criminal justice is a field for them; while educators will appreciate a tool to help facilitate provocative discussion in an applied ethics format.

The primary objectives of "Becoming Ethically Marketable" are to help readers become ethically marketable by: (1) identifying the importance of maintaining a lifestyle conducive to hire in the field of criminal justice; (2) identifying what constitutes inferior choices and behavior likely to disqualify or otherwise interfere with obtaining employment in the field of criminal justice; (3) making suggestions for thinking, decision-making and behavior likely to lead to passing intrusive hiring screenings and background investigation; (4) preparing readers for what to expect during intrusive screenings and background investigation; (5) providing suggestions to help with ethical decisions throughout a criminal justice career to retain employment; and (6) facilitating a decision of whether becoming ethically marketable and remaining ethically fit are sacrifices one is willing to make in pursuit of a career in criminal justice.

A unique approach in this book is the inclusion of Life Application Exercises at the conclusion of many of the chapters. The purpose of these exercises is to provide readers with real and current lifestyle examples to permit them to reflect and decide where they stand on matters that may be of importance to their future careers. Most focus on ethics for practitioners occurs post-hire. "Becoming Ethically Marketable" includes much needed advice on how to prepare (pre-hire) ethically for those hoping to enter the profession--especially what they can do now to get ready. "Becoming Ethically Marketable" is recommended for use in college level criminal justice ethics, introduction or orientation courses; in police academies; by career counselors; by police recruiters; and by mentors of criminal justice hopefuls..
