In their article, “The Concept of Informed Consent,” Faden and Beauchamp give two varying definitions of informed consent, namely sense one and sense two. Sense one is defined as autonomous authorization, meaning that the patient or subject agrees and then gives authority to move forward with a proposal (Vaughn 191). The authors give four conditions that have to be met for informed consent to be recognized: the patient has to understand the information presented to her, there should be no manipulation or coercion, and she has to intentionally give her authorization (Vaughn 191). Faden and Beauchamp also note that the fourth condition, where the patient gives her authorization, is pivotal in this sense since it differentiates autonomous authorization

The process of establishing consent will vary according to an individual’s assessed capacity to consent.

The COPS Office seeks to provide these critical resources to ensure integrity and ethics are well-understood and embedded in the culture of policing. COPS Office: Ethics & Integrity. (n.d.). Retrieved August 19, 2016, from http://cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=2469. The study of police ethics according to the Department of Justice “is especially important in light of the functions and duties of the police as well as the wide powers of discretion that they enjoy. Police decisions can affect life, liberty, and property, and as guardians of the interests of the public police must maintain high standards of integrity. In addition, police have assumed the right to use intrusive, covert, and deceptive methods of law enforcement has a crucial role in protecting minority groups. Lately, they have also suffered a series of blows to their reputation for integrity through acts of corruption, incompetence, and racism. All of these factors point to the centrality of fostering ethical standards in policing. Police discretion concerning how to act in a given situation can often lead to ethical misconduct.” Ethics and Police retrieved August 19 2016 from Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice. http://www.usdoj.gov/bjs.

Question of what is crime warrants various answers, but the most straightforward answer defines crime as any activity that is against the law. According to Barkan & Bryjak (2009) time and space varies the definition of the crime. According to different experts, crime definition is shaped by the cultural values, norms and practices of a given society. The political orientation of a particular area also determines the answer to what is a crime (Jarrell & Ozymy, 2012). Therefore, crime perception differs from one society to another.

Crime directly or indirectly impacts public policy. Criminologists seek to understand the nature and extent of crime, to explain why people commit crime, and to advance knowledge as to how crime might be prevented. Policy makers seek to address an array of social problems, including the problem of crime.

There are many perceptions of what defines crime. The definitions appear to change throughout history and are still changing today (Henry, S. and Lanier, M. M., 2001 ,p.139). For example, in the past marital rape was not considered a crime as it was thought that women were believed to be “sexual property” of the male and, therefore it couldn’t be classed as rape (Brownmiller, 1975, cited by Bergen, R.K., 1996, p.3). However, in the United States in 1978 a man was convicted of rape on his wife (Russell, 1990, cited by Bergen, R.K., 1996, p.4). This shows how it is hard to define crime due to the changes in views over time. Different cultures also have different perceptions of what is, or is not considered to be a crime. For example,
