Abstract: Thoughts expressed in this article were derived from Thornberry's “Cultural Literacy in Criminology” and Seigel and Zalman's “Cultural Literacy in Criminal Justice.” Given the newness of teaching ethics in criminal justice, this article underscores (a) the role of ethics in criminal justice, (b) cultural literacy in criminal justice ethics, (c) major unethical perspectives in criminal justice that need to be addressed, (d) core areas and core literature that constitute cultural literacy, and (e) a final word about some pitfalls in teaching criminal justice ethics. The core areas were identified as (a) the philosophy of ethics, (b) moral rules and moral judgment, (c) justice theories, (d) ethics of public service, and (e) ethics of criminal justice agencies. Ten teaching sources were selected for each area, and were ethically ordered—alphabetically.

TL;DR: In the chapter entitled "Philosophy and the Meaning of Life" in Robert Nozick's Philosophical Explanations there is an admonitory passage with many applications as mentioned in this paper, which states that it is a puzzle how so many people, including intellectuals and academics, devote enormous energy to work in which nothing of themselves or their important goals shines forth, not even in the way their work is presented.
Abstract: In the chapter entitled ‘Philosophy and the Meaning of Life’ in Robert Nozick’s Philosophical Explanations there is an admonitory passage with many applications. ‘It is a puzzle’, says Nozick, ‘how so many people, including intellectuals and academics, devote enormous energy to work in which nothing of themselves or their important goals shines forth, not even in the way their work is presented. If they were struck down, their children upon growing up and examining their work would never know why they had done it, would never know who it was that did it. They work that way and sometimes live that way, too’.1
