Ethical Issue:
What Would You Do?
As a probation and parole agent, you become aware that one of your colleagues with whom you have a good relationship is sexually preying on his female probationers and parolees. He essentially waits for them to commit violations such as nonpayment of fines, missed appointments, and providing dirty urine samples and then hints that he will not violate their probation or parole status if they are forthcoming with sexual favors. You learn that he has been quite successful with this strategy and that he overlooks numerous violations. Would you (a) ignore this as none of your business, (b) talk to him and counsel him on the dangers of doing this and tell him to stop or you will report him (it is a crime for someone with legal authority over another to demand sexual favors), or (c) report him to his supervisor?
