Police Use of Force under International Law Hardback
by Stuart (University of Pretoria) Casey-Maslen, Sean Connolly
Hardback
Description
Policing is commonly thought to be governed by domestic legal systems and not international law.
However, various international legal standards are shown to have an impact in situations where police use force.
Police Use of Force under International Law explores this tension in detail for the first time.
It critically reviews the use of force by law enforcement agencies in a range of scenarios: against detainees, during protests, and in the context of counterterrorism and counterpiracy operations.
Key trends, such as the growing use of private security services, are also considered.
This book provides a human rights framework for police weaponry and protection of at-risk groups based on critical jurisprudence from the last twenty years.
With pertinent case law and case studies to illustrate the key principles of the use of force, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in policing, human rights, state use of force or criminology.
