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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of expert contributors provides an in-depth exploration of police use of force, firearms, and less-than-lethal weapons from a dozen countries across five continents. Police Use of Force: A Global Perspective is a fascinating, international exploration of police use of force, firearms, and less-than-lethal weapons in nations around the world. The book is comprised of three sections: the first focuses on the use of force generally, the second explores firearms and deadly force, and the final section considers less-than-lethal weapons, including pepper spray, TASERs, and other emerging technologies currently on the horizon. The essays gathered here will provide readers with an understanding of the vast differences in how police use force in various countries, as well as why police use force differently under different forms of government. Topics covered include use-of-force definitions, training procedures, policy issues, abuse of police authority, use of force during interrogations, and the use of firearms by armed and unarmed police forces. Finally, there is an essay focusing on how shooting and killing a suspect impacts an officer in the months and years that follow.
