"This study examined patrol officer use of force and exposure to resistance on a gendered basis in an urban police department. Using data from use of force reports for the year 2000, a weighted force factor value was calculated for each officer. These values were then compared by officer gender. One interpretation was that female and male officers responded differentially to subject resistance levels." [Sub required]
