Abstract

It is with great satisfaction that we present this digital book, a work carefully prepared to comprehensively address the crucial and sensitive topic of "Use of Force in Public Security Under Legal Protection". Divided into two distinct chapters, the work aims to provide a comprehensive view of the conceptual and legal elements that permeate this complex theme.
The first chapter of this book, entitled "Concept of Use of Force", delves into the fundamental nuances of this phenomenon, outlining the main elements of action that guide public security practices. Furthermore, it explores the different levels of the use of progressive force, presenting models that outline effective strategies, such as the Fletc Model, Canadian Model, Remsberg Model, Phoenix Model and Nashville Model. Special attention is devoted to non-lethal weapons, highlighting their relevance in the search for safer and more efficient approaches.
The second chapter, entitled "Legal Aspects of the Use of Force in Public Security Activities", the work enters the complex legal territory that surrounds the use of force by security professionals. The legal support that supports such practices is thoroughly analyzed, providing a deep understanding of the rules and regulations that govern the use of force. This chapter provides a solid foundation for understanding the legal responsibilities and limitations that should guide the actions of security officers.
This digital book aims to be a valuable reference source for security professionals, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the challenges, dilemmas, and nuances surrounding the use of force in public security. The balanced approach between practical and legal aspects provides an enriching and informed reading on a topic that directly impacts society and the actions of security agents.
We hope that this work will significantly contribute to improving knowledge, promoting constructive discussions and supporting more ethical and efficient practices in the delicate scenario of the use of force in public security.
