Use of Less Than Lethal Force

•Understanding Police Use of Force: Officers, Suspects and Reciprocity.
Published by Cambridge University Press CLICK HERE

Understanding Police use of Force focuses on the extraordinary and rare event that
develops when physical force is used by the police.
Whenever police officers come into
contact with citizens, there is always a chance that the encounter
will digress to one in which force is used on a suspect.
Fortunately, most police activities do not result in the use of force,
but those that do take on an interesting pattern of interaction between the officer and the citizen.
This volume presents a brief survey of prior research
on police use of force as well as original data reported for the first time.
The original data on police use of force include the Force Factor,
or the relative use of force compared to the level of suspect resistance.
The data also includes the
sequential order of the event and a view from the suspect’s perspective.
The book also proposes a new conceptual framework for examining and assessing
police use of force: the Authority Maintenance Theory.
