Whenever police officers come into contact with citizens there is a
chance that the encounter will digress to one in which force is
used on a suspect. Fortunately, most police activities do not
involve the use of force. But those that do reflect important
patterns of interaction between the officer and the citizen. This
book examines those patterns. It begins with a brief survey of
prior research, and then goes on to present data and findings.
Among the data are the force factor applied - that is, the level of
force used relative to suspect resistance - and data on the
sequential order of incidents of force. The authors also examine
police use of force from the suspect's perspective. In analyzing
this data they put forward a conceptual framework, the Authority
Maintenance Theory, for examining and assessing police use of
force.
