Unethical Outcomes of Research Application

UTREC has mandated that university research not be used to unethical ends.  Thus research should not be used in a way that puts respondents at risk.  Respondents cannot consent to place themselves in danger; thus, the application and use of the research should be fully disclosed.  Social psychology research to improve the effectiveness of torture would be an example of unethical outcomes of social research.
