Provides a critical understanding and evaluation of police tactics
and the use of force Police violence has historically played an
important role in shaping public attitudes toward the government.
Community trust and confidence in policing have been undermined by
the perception that officers are using force unnecessarily, too
frequently, or in problematic ways. The use of force, or harm
suffered by a community as a result of such force, can also serve
as a flashpoint, a spark that ignites long-simmering community
hostility. In Evaluating Police Uses of Force, legal scholar Seth
W. Stoughton, former deputy chief of police Jeffrey J. Noble, and
distinguished criminologist Geoffrey P. Alpert explore a critical
but largely overlooked facet of the difficult and controversial
issues of police violence and accountability: how does society
evaluate use-of-force incidents? By leading readers through answers
to this question from four different perspectives-constitutional
law, state law, administrative regulation, and community
expectations-and by providing critical information about police
tactics and force options that are implicated within those
frameworks, Evaluating Police Uses of Force helps situate readers
within broader conversations about governmental accountability, the
role that police play in modern society, and how officers should go
about fulfilling their duties.
