Magazine Conflict and violence cover a broad range of behaviors,
from intimidation to murder, and they require an equally broad
range of responses. A kind word will not resolve all situations,
nor will wristlocks, punches or even a gun. In Scaling Force the
authors introduce you to the full range of options, from skillfully
doing nothing to applying deadly force. They realistically guide
you through understanding the limits of each type of force, when
specific levels may be appropriate, the circumstances under which
you may have to apply them, and the potential cost, legally and
personally, of your decision. * Level 1 Presence. Staving off
violence using body language alone.* Level 2 - Voice. Verbally
de-escalating conflict before physical methods become necessary.*
Level 3 - Touch. Defusing an impending threat or gaining compliance
via touch.* Level 4 - Empty-Hand Restraint. Controlling a threat
through pain or forcing compliance through leverage.* Level 5 -
Less-Lethal Force. Incapacitating a threat while minimizing the
likelihood of fatality or permanent injury.* Level 6 - Lethal
Force. Stopping a threat with techniques or implements likely to
cause death or grievous bodily harm. It is vital to enter this
scale at the right level, and to articulate why what you did was
appropriate. If you do not know how to succeed at all six levels
there are situations in which you will have no appropriate options.
More often than not, that will end badly.
