Police and the Use of Force by Vance McLaughlin PDF Summary

Book Description: This work examines all levels of lethal and non-lethal force available to the police. While injury to citizens can result, the failure to use force can cause or contribute to the injury or death of the police officer. The author demonstrates that the police seldom use force, but that departments must establish control over its use and ensure that force is applied effectively and appropriately. The author also examines issues and variables involved in the use of force such as alcohol or drug use by the subject, level of resistance encountered, weapons used, the interaction of different cultures, local politics, and federal and state law. Each department in addition has its own operating procedure that further guide or restrict the use of force. The author also considers tactical issues such as the individual officer's abilities and the technology of available non-lethal weapons. The author examines all use of force incidents in the Savannah Police in detail: --The Savannah program for training officers in the use of force and the reporting procedures for use of force incidents are described --Research methods are presented for the gathering of use of force data --The locations of violent crime and the use of force by the police are correlated (use of force is more likely in parts of the city with a high violent crime rate) --Anecdotal evidence is presented (using the officer's and the citizen's own words) to give a clearer picture of what actually occurred --The officer's assignment is examined (off-duty incidents are also examined) --Race, gender, and age of both officer and subject are considered. This book is a must for all police departments, use of force instructors, attorneys involved in use of force cases, and students of police studies.
