{"product_id":"cheating","title":"Cheating","description":"\u003cp\u003eCheating is deeply embedded in everyday life.  The costs of the most common forms of cheating total close to a trillion dollars annually. Part of the problem is that many individuals fail  to see such behavior as a serious problem. \"Everyone does it\" is a common rationalization, and one that  comes uncomfortably close to the truth. That perception is also self-perpetuating. The more that individuals believe that cheating is widespread, the easier it becomes to\n\u003cbr\u003ejustify. Yet what is most notable about analysis of the problem is how little there is of it.   Whether or not Americans are cheating more, they appear to be worrying about it less.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn Cheating, eminent legal scholar Deborah L. Rhode offers the only recent comprehensive account of cheating in everyday life and  the strategies necessary to address it.  Because cheating is highly situational, Rhode drills down on its most common forms in sports, organizations,  taxes,  academia, copyright infringement, marriage, and insurance and mortgages. Cheating also reviews strategies necessary to address  the pervasiveness\n\u003cbr\u003eand persistence of cheating in these contexts. We clearly need more cultural reinforcement of ethical conduct. Efforts need to begin early, with values education by  parents,  teachers, and other role models who can\n\u003cbr\u003edisplay and  reinforce moral behaviors.   Organizations need to create ethical cultures, in which informal norms,  formal policies, and reward structures all  promote integrity. People also need more moral triggers that remind them of their own values. Equally important are more effective enforcement  structures,  including additional  resources and stiffer sanctions. Finally, all of us need to take more responsibility for combatting cheating. We need not only to subject our own conduct to more\n\u003cbr\u003edemanding standards, but also to assume a greater obligation to  prevent and report misconduct. Sustaining a culture that actively discourages cheating is a collective responsibility,  and one in\n\u003cbr\u003ewhich we all have a substantial stake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46061580615918,"sku":"9780190672423","price":66.31,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190672423.jpg?v=1736532661","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/cheating","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
