Permission to Shoot? Police Use of Deadly Force in Democracies

This monograph publication is a substantial piece of work on a less researched and highly sensitive area of policing. It involved substantial academic involvement over a period of 5 years. The in-depth exploration of a less understood phenomenon, required its presentation in book length form. It contains academic content equivalent to several individual journal articles and book chapters, as can be evidenced by the publication of additional two peer reviewed journal articles and a book chapter. This academic work has also enabled the author to contribute an Encyclopaedia of Criminology (Springer) entry on ‘police use of deadly force’. On this basis double weighting for this book is requested.

This monograph represents a substantial piece of work on an under-researched and highly sensitive area of policing. It involved substantial academic involvement over a period of 5 years. The in-depth exploration and its novelty required its presentation in book length form. It contains academic content equivalent to several individual journal articles and book chapters, as can be evidenced by the publication of two associated peer reviewed journal articles and one book chapter to date. Double weighting for this book is requested on this basis.
