This research seeks to understand what suspect characteristics may increase the likelihood of game wardens using physical force. The data come from 241 self-reports from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Law Enforcement from 2002 to 2009. The incidents were analyzed based on suspect age, race, level of verbal and physical resistance, and the involvement of drugs/alcohol during the encounter. The results indicated that verbal force only was used in 37% of the events and physical force was used in 63% of the incidents. A logistic regression found physical force was most often used against men offering some type of verbal and/or physical resistance or when there was some involvement with drugs/alcohol; however, the effects of age and race were not generalizable beyond the sample. With almost no empirical research in this area, additional studies are needed in this underexplored area before more definitive conclusions can be reached.View full textDownload full textKeywordsgame wardens, use of forceRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01924036.2012.669583

机译：这项研究旨在了解哪些可疑特征可能会增加使用物理力的游戏管理员的可能性。数据来自2002年至2009年佛罗里达鱼类和野生动物保护委员会执法司的241份自我报告。这些事件是根据可疑年龄，种族，语言和身体抵抗程度以及毒品/酒精的参与进行分析的在相遇中。结果表明，仅在37％的事件中使用了语言强制，而在63％的事件中使用了物理力。 Logistic回归分析发现，对男人提供某种类型的言语和/或身体抵抗力或与毒品/酒精有某种联系的男人，最常使用身体力量；但是，年龄和种族的影响无法超越样本。由于在该领域几乎没有任何实证研究，因此在未得到明确的结论之前，还需要对该领域进行进一步的研究。查看全文下载全文关键字游戏管理员，使用forceRelated var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand：“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”，service_compact： “ citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，美味，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，更多”，发布：“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01924036.2012.669583
