Less-lethal weapons

protective equipment is so important for the safety of soldiers, advances in weapons is what wins wars. The United States military is constantly designing new weapons for soldiers because with each new threat, a new counter is needed. As for weapons used to take the enemy out, there are infinite possibilities of weapons that could be designed for that area weaponry. The Unites States military is trying to design weapons that no other country has so that the enemy won't know what hit them and would

By the late 1800s, police officers were issued firearms to counteract the better equipped criminal. In recent years, there have been resurgences in the importance of non-lethal and less-than-lethal weapons for law enforcement use.

If only we had a weapon we could safely land this plane and reduce the number of casualties. Save lives by arming pilots. Research proves that when pilots are armed the chances of them getting hijacked are greatly reduced. Arming pilots will help keep them and the passengers safe during an incident.

Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) System, a smart gun which is also known as "the punisher" or the airburst grenade launcher is a weapon which was derived from it's predecessor, the XM29 OICW. The weapon was fielded to the soldiers who were serving in the Afghanistan war as was projected to enter into full production and deployment in 2011 (Piper,2011). The fact the weapon increases the soldier's lethality is commendable (Kleiner,2009).Its manufacture is considered as the best news that has ever happened

can ultimately shape American history. In which case, supervisors are directed to respond to the scene in instances where a subject has been hit by a less lethal impact weapon or in instances where an officer has negligently or unintentionally discharged the Taser.

implemented to prevent them from reoccurring in the future. We cannot let this trend continue any further. Though some claim that increased gun control is useless and infringes upon the Second Amendment, it limits civilians’ weapons grade, obstructs those deemed unfit to wield such lethal weapons, and insures a greater level of security, thus it should be executed. Perhaps the most obvious defense against stronger restrictions of guns is the Second Amendment: “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms

* Future directions of crime fighting and its role in social policy implication * “Technology is a double-edged sword: it arms evildoers with potent new weapons of crime commission, yet is provides police agencies and criminal justice personnel with powerful tools useful in the battle against crime,” (Criminology Today, Frank Schmalleger, pp. 385). Criminology will always be linked to technology, even if that technology is seen as primitive or groundbreaking. Earlier forms of technology used
