Title: Decisionmaking and the police use of deadly force
Author(s): Rick Parent

Abstract: A precarious relationship exists between democratic societies and the police agencies that have been created for the purpose of maintaining law and social order. In an attempt to maintain law and order, police officers may be required to use force in their day-to-day contact with the public. Police have at their disposal the capacity to act as judge, jury, and executioner, if need be.
