Data from 890 encounters during two years were analyzed to examine how changes in policy have effected taser use. Findings support that after the change, the frequency of taser use decreased, while the levels of suspect resistance increased. The frequency and severity of suspect injuries did not change and the number of officers injured was unchanged. Officers perceived an increased risk of harm to themselves as a result of the change, but this was 410 0$aCriminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aPolice$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aStun guns$zUnited States 606 $aPolice brutality$zUnited States 615 0$aPolice$xAttitudes. 615 0$aStun guns 615 0$aPolice brutality 676 $a363.2/32 700 $aMiller$b Michael E$098325 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781349203321 996 $aPolice taser utilization$93771403 997 $aUNINA
