Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the utility of Kant’s theory of justice as a means of cultivating ‘police professionalism’. Firstly, we will seek the fundamental meaning of ‘police professionalism’ in relevant legal regulations. Subsequently, we will investigate whether Kant's categorical imperative explains ‘police professionalism’. Following this, we will analyze a survey conducted among police officers who participated in a ‘Kantian justice course’ to assess the relevance of Kant’s theory of justice to the cultivation of ‘police professionalism’. The findings suggest that the ‘Kantian justice course’, addressing issues of human dignity, not only contributes to understanding the essence of ‘police professionalism’ but also serves as a compass in seeking the ‘value of life’ as individuals.
