Book excerpt: The implementation and impacts of the use of oleoresin capsicum (OC) pepper spray were evaluated using data from Baltimore County (Md.). The evaluation focused on how OC was adopted and implemented by the Baltimore County Police Department and the impact of OC use on police and suspect injuries and complaints about police brutality, as well as its effectiveness in subduing uncooperative or physically resistant individuals. Data collection for both the impact and process evaluations began in mid-July 1993. Findings revealed that the police used the spray 194 times on humans or dogs in a 9-month period, mainly for battery, assault, disorderly conduct, domestic assault, mental, and traffic-related cases. In 90 percent of the incidents the individual was sufficiently incapacitated to permit arrest or other officer actions. The total number of citizen complaints alleging force was lower during the period when spray was used than in the two periods before the spray was used. The process evaluation revealed that the police agency used a phase-in approach to training, developed a standard operating procedure, and addressed issues related to police use of force.

Download or read book Review of the Department of Justice s Use of Less Lethal Weapons written by Barry Leonard and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of such weapons as batons, pepper spray and powder, ¿bean bag¿ shotgun rounds, baton launchers, rubber projectiles, and Tasers can enhance the safety of law enforcement (LE) officers and the public during LE operations. However, significant injuries and fatalities can result from their use. This review determines the types of less-lethal weapons used; the extent to which DoJ components are using these weapons, whether training and controls have been implemented to ensure the weapons are used properly; whether the components have identified the impact of using these weapons on their missions; and whether the DoJ assesses, deploys, and oversees new and emerging less-lethal weapon technologies.

Download or read book The Resilient Farm and Homestead written by Ben Falk and published by Chelsea Green Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resilient Farm and Homestead is a manual for developing durable, beautiful, and highly functional human habitat systems fit to handle an age of rapid transition. Ben Falk is a land designer and site developer whose permaculture-research farm has drawn national attention. The site is a terraced paradise on a hillside in Vermont that would otherwise be overlooked by conventional farmers as unworthy farmland. Falk's wide array of fruit trees, rice paddies (relatively unheard of in the Northeast), ducks, nuts, and earth-inspired buildings is a hopeful image for the future of regenerative agriculture and modern homesteading. The book covers nearly every strategy Falk and his team have been testing at the Whole Systems Research Farm over the past decade, as well as experiments from other sites Falk has designed through his off-farm consulting business. The book includes detailed information on earthworks; gravity-fed water systems; species composition; the site-design process; site management; fuelwood hedge production and processing; human health and nutrient-dense production strategies; rapid topsoil formation and remineralization; agroforestry/silvopasture/grazing; ecosystem services, especially regarding flood mitigation; fertility management; human labor and social-systems aspects; tools/equipment/appropriate technology; and much more, complete with gorgeous photography and detailed design drawings. The Resilient Farm and Homestead is more than just a book of tricks and techniques for regenerative site development, but offers actual working results in living within complex farm-ecosystems based on research from the "great thinkers" in permaculture, and presents a viable home-scale model for an intentional food-producing ecosystem in cold climates, and beyond. Inspiring to would-be homesteaders everywhere, but especially for those who find themselves with "unlikely" farming land, Falk is an inspiration in what can be done by imitating natural systems, and making the most of what we have by re-imagining what's possible. A gorgeous case study for the homestead of the future.

Book excerpt: This analysis of police use of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) as a nonlethal spray intended to allow police to take suspects into custody without harm to the officer or the civilian concludes that the use of this product raises clear constitutional issues. OC is also known as pepper spray and is being used by 192 of California's 450 law enforcement agencies. However, its use may not meet constitutional standards regarding use of force, due process, and equal protection. Health effects of pepper spray are unknown, particularly on persons who are mentally ill, asthmatic, obese, or drugged. The combined effect of pepper spray and police restraint techniques is also unknown. Incomplete data also suggest that at least in Los Angeles, pepper spray may be used disproportionately on African-Americans. Further data suggest that OC's effectiveness is lower than the 90 percent suggested in some police reports and manufacturer's literature. To address these and other issues, California's Department of Justice should order an immediate investigation of all seven deaths known to have occurred in people sprayed with OC and should examine the need for revision of the standards on OC use.

Download or read book Oleoresin Capsicum written by Lydia Denise Adkins and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on the use of oleoresin capsicum (OC) as a means of force and also tested the effectiveness of OC. A medium-size police agency was studied from 1991-2001. The following reports were collected for analysis: excessive force reports, reports of officers injured during arrests, use of hands-on restraint, and use of police baton. The test data indicated an increase in reported incidents of excessive force and a reduction in the number of officer injuries sustained during arrest situations, the use of hands-on restraint and the police baton. Implementing OC into the force continuum remains a solid decision in review of this research. This study has shown oleoresin capsicum to be a safe, effective level in the law enforcement force continuum.
