Blue Lies and Police Placebos: The Moralities of Police Lying.
Klockars, Carl B.
American Behavioral Scientist, v27 n4 p529-44 Mar-Apr 1984
The concession that the lie is preferred over force as a means of social control forms the basis for the morality of policy lying, i.e., in any situation in which police have a legitimate right to use force they acquire a moral right to achieve the same ends by lying. (RM)
