Abstract

In The Ethics Police?, Robert L. Klitzman reports his findings from interviews with members, chairs, and administrators of institutional review boards (IRBs). He finds them to be poorly trained in ethical reasoning, inconsistent in their decisions, and naive about the amount of power they wield. Yet he also maintains that IRBs “have succeeded in many ways.”
