Criminal Justice Practice Exam

The term that describes offenders who seek to make more money illegally while on duty is "meat eaters." In the context of law enforcement and criminal justice, this term refers to individuals, often within the police force, who actively engage in corrupt practices, taking bribes, or participating in criminal activities to enrich themselves. This behavior typically involves a more aggressive and predatory approach to corruption compared to their counterparts. In contrast, the term "grass eaters" is used to describe those who may be more passive in their corruption and instead accept benefits or bribes without actively seeking them out. "Carnivores" and "vegans" do not relate to this specific context within the framework of criminal justice and corruption; hence they do not apply here. "Carnivores" might suggest a similar aggressive behavior as "meat eaters" but is not a recognized term in this specific domain, while "vegans" does not pertain to criminal conduct at all. Understanding these distinctions helps clarify the motivations and behaviors associated with corruption in law enforcement.
