Book excerpt: The intent of this book is to provide macro and micro levels of analyses, beginning with institutional (political, legal) and ideological influences on the preservation, enhancement and expansion of State power and how this culture of values is passed on to the organizational and cultural fabric of law enforcement.The book then captures 30 years of officers' experiences, interprets emergent concepts, and officers' interpretations and meaning behind their action in social and legal contexts. It seeks to more clearly understand police action, particularly in violent encounters.Society often sees the use of force by the police through the evolving law, tactics, and weaponry used. However, underlying these are shifts in power, authorized and legitimized by the State, to deal with contingent circumstances and emerging threats to national security. Use of Force Investigation, Second Edition is more than just a book. It is a timeline in the evolution of power, law and criminal justice.This edition has updated material on crime scene investigation (firearms and ballistics), force protection (armor technologies), interpretation of police action during shootings, policy and procedure, use of force investigation including federal inquiry and intervention of police shootings, critical incident management, crisis intervention, emergency management, and security assessment.
