Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A history of non-lethal means of crowd control, individual assailants, dangerous situations, and a fascinating examination of the tools available to minimize lethal encounters. For fifty years, both as a combat veteran, police officer, and trainer for law enforcement and the military, Charles Sid Heal has devoted his career to limiting the occasions for catastrophic loss of life and to defusing potentially explosive, life-endangering encounters. He has written on how to de-escalate tense stand-offs, from confrontations with individuals to potential mass disorder (Sound Doctrine: A Tactical Primer); how to formulate strategies, tactics, mission-planning, and decision-making under pressure (Field Command); and how to examine floor plans of houses to enable special forces to end hostage scenarios and home sieges with minimal loss of life (An Illustrated Guide to Tactical Diagramming) In Concepts of Nonlethal Force, Heal explores the ever-growing array of nonlethal options and implements that promise to restore order to out-of-control situations, such as riots, or to tackle assailants in a way that lessens the risk of somebody being killedwhether its the officer or the suspect. Heal also examines the history of non-lethal interventions, and the many ambiguities and difficulties associated with employing these items so as to minimize casualties, lower the likelihood of harm to innocent bystanders, and reduce property and collateral damage.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - - Is it ever justified to use lethal force to prevent nonlethal force from being used - What is the difference between unreasonable force and excessive force - If nonlethal weapons are more prevalent, why isn't the use of lethal force diminishing - Why do agencies with the strictest policies for using canines frequently have higher dog bite ratios than others >Most of these questions originated with students attending the U.S. military war colleges, where the author has taught nonlethal force for more than two decades. This short and tightly focused book examines the knowledge, experience, planning, and decision-making necessary to safely and effectively use nonlethal force. It provides strong, and even irrefutable, arguments and describes the challenges and explains the rationale for why one option is preferred over another. Hence, this is not so much a 'how-to' book as a 'why' book. Sid Heal has substantial personal experience in using, developing, defending, and teaching the many facets of nonlethal force and writes in the first-person not as a scholar to a student but rather 'peer to peer.' The book is written for people with 'skin in the game,' who personally suffer the consequences of mistakes and misfortune. Readers can expect trenchant and frank answers. Extensive endnotes for teachers, consultants, and those more scientifically inclined are provided for reference and further research.…
