What could be a consequence for CSC employees who do not adhere to the law?

Choosing the answer reflects an understanding of the potential repercussions that employees of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) might face for failing to comply with legal standards. When CSC employees do not adhere to the law, they expose themselves and their organization to various liabilities and accountability measures.

One significant consequence is that such employees may become indefensible in legal proceedings. Failing to follow established laws and policies can lead to legal actions against them, where they might find it challenging to defend themselves legally due to their noncompliance. In civil or criminal cases, if their actions are scrutinized and found to be in violation of the law, they could face disciplinary actions, including termination, litigation, or even criminal charges, depending on the severity of their actions.

In this context, the option that they may become indefensible emphasizes the seriousness of legal compliance for employees in law enforcement or correctional settings. The other options—such as increased public trust, legal immunity, and positive media coverage—do not accurately reflect the consequences of noncompliance but rather suggest outcomes that would be associated with adherence to legal and ethical standards.
