5.0 out of 5 stars Ethical Dilemmas Book
Verified PurchaseThis book is a good read. I ordered to rent the used version of this book. Boy, it is really used! The binder is breaking and a swath of pages has detached from the binder itself. Other than that, it's a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book about Ethics
Verified PurchaseI bought this book for my college course ethics in criminal justice. Although it was very informative about ethics, I felt it was kindergarten information because I already set a high standard of ethics for my position at my job and in my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Verified PurchaseI used this book for my semester. I like the rental options. I returned this on time. But today I got it back in the mail, with no explanation. I hope I don't get charged for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars fragile
Verified PurchaseThe pages are starting to unattached from the spine. Came like that and I’m scared to turn the pages or even open the book super wide in fear it might make it worse. But need it for class so will suffer with it.
