Adam Tippetts
Good people wear the badge. But human nature still comes with it.Society gives extraordinary authority to ordinary human beings. Fall of Duty: How Good Cops Go Bad examines what happens when the normal forces of human nature-bias, pride, conformity, rationalization, loyalty, fear, anger, and self-deception-collide with the extraordinary responsibilities of policing.Drawing from ancient wisdom, history, modern psychology, real-world cases, and the realities of law enforcement, Adam Tippetts explores a difficult truth: unethical behavior is not limited to unethical people. Good officers with honorable intentions can drift, justify, conform, and make decisions they once believed they never would.Fall of Duty moves beyond traditional ethics training and simple rules about right and wrong. It asks officers to understand the person behind the badge, recognize the forces that can compromise integrity, and develop the self-awareness necessary to resist them.Ancient wisdom. Modern psychology. Deeper ethics.
