The police's ability to use force is one of their most crucial powers, yet one that has been relatively neglected by criminology. This book challenges some of the myths surrounding the use of these weapons and considers their human rights implications and impact on members of the public and officers alike. Drawing on STS, it also considers the role and impact of electric-shock technologies, examines the extent to which technologies and non-human agency may also play a role in shaping officer decision making and discretion, and contributes to long standing debates about police accountability. This is essential reading for policing scholars around the world, particularly those engaged with use of force, culture and accountability, as well as those engaged with Science and Technology studies. 410 $aRoutledge Studies in Policing and Society 606 $aArrest (Police methods) 606 $aPolice 606 $aStun guns 615 0$aArrest (Police methods) 615 0$aPolice. 615 0$aStun guns. 676 $a363.232 686 $aSOC004000$2bisacsh 700 $aDymond$b Abi$01424211 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831829903321 996 $aElectric-Shock Weapons, Tasers and Policing$93553285 997 $aUNINA
