Noble cause corruption fits within the ethical models as a form of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is based on the principle that an action should be judged by its consequences, and in this case, it means that an action may be ethically justified if it achieves a “greater good”. Noble cause corruption is when law enforcement officers violate rules or regulations in order to achieve a desired outcome, such as justice for victims or protection of the public.
