- Synopsis
- This text addresses the how, why, and when of utilizing force against citizens in a democracy. This second edition of the first true textbook on this topic offers students and instructors a balanced, research-based approach to understanding the use of force in law enforcement, as well as in corrections and juvenile justice settings. Hough includes features to reinforce key concepts, including “What-Why,” “Try This,” “Going Global,” and “Research Results” boxes. The Use of Force in Criminal Justice combines academic and practitioner perspectives, making the book well-suited for undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice as well as professional training and executive education. The text is accompanied by online resources such as PowerPoints, lesson notes, and a test bank. It is an invaluable aid for force trainers, risk managers, and attorneys who must understand the research on force and force issues rather than the rhetoric of individual anecdotes and personal system-of-force concepts.
