Ethics of Research with Human Subjects

Prepared for presentation at the Research Ethics Institute, North Carolina State University, June 2001, this synopsis of a presentation by Dr. Kenneth D. Pimple includes three dialogue-based case studies with a commentary featuring Polly Wells, who is either the owner of a small diner, a newspaper columnist, or a sociologist in this series of cases. Each case explores the different professional obligations Polly faces when she witnesses a case of police violence.
