Question Answered step-by-step Respond to two of your colleagues’ postings. Be sure to respond to… Respond to two of your colleagues’ postings. Be sure to respond to a colleague who described either a different ethical principle or a different research standard than you did. Then, explain how your colleague’s post relates to your future professional practice.#1The ethical code guiding me  in my profession is “professional competence and due care,” while the research standard I always practice is “informed consent.” I know that research in criminal behavior is sensitive and needs total competence to achieve the goals, and this is why I am always guided by my ethical code of professional competence and due care. I am always concerned about the organization that assigns me the task of investigating specific criminal behavior, and I always ensure that I maintain professionalism in the entire process. I always ensure that I provide the service as the organization requires by maintaining competent professional integrity. For instance, when researching specific criminal behavior, I always ensure that I don’t cause any harm both to my client and the participants. I always present the findings the way I collected them without manipulating them be remain fair to both the parties. Another example is when tasked to investigate specific criminal behavior that I cannot accomplish, I always decline the request instead of proceeding and delivering manipulated information (The Department of Health and Human Services and The Office of Research Integrity, 2007).            Respecting the research standard of informed consent has always guided my research activities. Whenever I plan to research specific criminal behavior, I always inform the subjects before commencing my research. I always acknowledge that the research participants have the right to know why they are involved in the research. Again, I rarely engage people who may not be of sound mind like children since they may not understand the purpose of the research. Researching criminal behavior is always tricky. If the subjects have not consented to participate, the findings are likely to be biased, which is why I always ask for consent. For instance, when tasked with researching specific criminal behavior like drug trafficking in certain regions, I always identify my target subjects and inform them about the activity. I will then proceed with those who wilfully accept to participate in the research. I always respect the code mentioned above of ethics and research standards to avoid the punishments that may result from misconduct in doing research. Duncan, S. & Kubrin, C. (n.d).

Ethical issues to avoid is always starting with informed consent – It is widely agreed that research subjects should be fully informed about experiments in which they may participate and give their consent before they enroll. (Nicholas H. Steneck, 2007). Right to withdraw – It is widely agreed that research subjects should have the right to withdraw from experiments at any time, but in some cases they cannot (Nicholas H. Steneck, 2007). Another ethical issue is speaking with a minor and obtaining consent with their parent. Sociologist state that testing theories can be difficult.  To test theories on crime the correlation to prove if one situation causes another.  Also, they want to determine between causation and correlation.  Clinicians’ have a better access availability to date.  Due to clinician’s having better access to people through inmates, juvenile delinquents and actual criminals.
