Too often, military and law enforcement authorities have found
themselves constrained by inadequate weaponry. An emerging category
of ???non-lethal weapons??? carries promise for resolving this
dilemma, proffering new capabilities for disabling opponents
without inflicting death or permanent injury. This array of much
more sophisticated technologies is being developed, and could
emerge for use by soldiers and police in the near future. These
augmented capabilities carry both immense promise and grave risks:
they expand the power of law enforcement and military units,
enabling them to accomplish assigned missions with greater finesse
and reduced casualties. But they may also be misused - increasing
maligned applications and inspiring leaders to over-rely upon a
myth of ???bloodless combat???. This book explores the emerging
world of non-lethal weapons by examining a series of case studies -
recent real-world scenarios from five confrontations around the
world where the availability of a modern arsenal might have made a
difference.
