Whether or not to use force is the most serious decision and one of
the most significant interactions law enforcement officers can have
with citizens. The decisions made by political and administrative
officials when they determine matters of policy, or the decisions
made by individual officers in split seconds, may be of life or
death importance. The determination of the proper use of force by
law enforcement at both administrative and individual levels is
crucial for both law enforcement and for the public to maintain
order, protect society, enforce just laws, and reasonably respect
and protect the rights of civilian citizens. Typically a successful
use of force accomplishes an actual seizure within the meaning of
the Fourth Amendment, and therefore seizures are examined as Fourth
Amendment issues in this book. The most basic and generalizable
legal standard for the use of force is -reasonableness, and this
book examines the reasonableness of the use of force in a number of
situations, both real and hypothetical. Reasonable Use of Force by
Police is intended for use in police training, police departments,
universities, and by anyone interested in understanding the
standards of reasonable use of force by police and other law
enforcement officers."
