Reasonability-of-force assessments mediate the link between police experience and use-of-force decision making
We examined if experienced officers use less and lower levels of force than less-experienced officers due to differences in reasonability-of-force assessments.

Experienced officers were more likely to use verbal commands and less-experienced officers were more…

I focus on the processes by which the body is transformed and new disciplinary techniques are developed, and present the body as an alternative category of cu…
