This level of impact has also had significant influences in the way our contemporary justice system oper-ates. Williams (2015) suggests that science has become the dominant form of knowledge which replaced metaphysics, ethics, and political philosophy. The greatest advantage scientific reasoning has over other forms of knowledge is the need for its practitioners to be disinterested in the results and operate objectively (Williams, 2015). | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Australian Policing: Critical Issues in the 21st Century Police Practice, p. 163-182 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | London, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781003028918 9780367464660 9780367464677 |
