CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE1
Introduction
The Law enforcement in Canada is considered to be associated with the three levels of
government which consists of the municipal, provincial and in addition to such the federal level.
The urban areas are considered to give authority to the provinces in order to maintain the police
force on their own. The police or the law enforcement agency is considered to protect the
citizens for any crimes, which have been committed by the criminals (Carmichael & Kent,
2015).
This particular paper discusses the use of forces and theories along with the concepts of
the force factors. It also tries to critically discuss those force factors with a recent event that
involves the use of force by a police officer. It also discusses alternative strategies which can be
used to alter the outcome for the incident and provide justifications for such. In conclusion, it
summarizes the points that have been discussed in the paper.
Discussion
According to the authors Boivin & Lagacé, 2016, it has been stated that the use of force
is considered to be governed and regulated by the federal and the provincial legislation.
However, the operational application is considered to be guided by the use of force models. The
entire theory for the force model is considered to be based on the primary use of control. This
principle denotes that the police officers need to use force which would be proportionate to that
of the threat which can be perceived as a threat and for such they would employ certain measures
of force which would guarantee that they are able to use force and in addition to such maintain
control.
