The Role of Ethics in Research in the 1950s to Present Day The role of ethics in research is ever evolving, fueled by human rights violations in the name of science. As a result of these human rights violations, various codes of ethics have been established to guide researchers. The Nuremberg Code was established in 1947 following the Nuremberg Trials, as part of an international effort to establish ethical standards for human research with a focus on respect for human rights, individual autonomy, and informed consent (Moreno et al., 2017).

Capote coerced Smith and Hickock to participate in his research by providing legal advice to appeal their verdict, thereby ensuring Smith and Hickock would continue to participate in hopes of overturning the death sentence. Perry Smith was deceived in Capote (Miller, 2005). Capote frequently lied to Smith about the progress of his book, often stating that he had not started writing.
