Policing is commonly thought to be governed by domestic legal
systems and not international law. However, various international
legal standards are shown to have an impact in situations where
police use force. Police Use of Force under International Law
explores this tension in detail for the first time. It critically
reviews the use of force by law enforcement agencies in a range of
scenarios: against detainees, during protests, and in the context
of counterterrorism and counterpiracy operations. Key trends, such
as the growing use of private security services, are also
considered. This book provides a human rights framework for police
weaponry and protection of at-risk groups based on critical
jurisprudence from the last twenty years. With pertinent case law
and case studies to illustrate the key principles of the use of
force, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in
policing, human rights, state use of force or criminology.
