Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the rapidly evolving field of non-lethal weapons - systems that enable police and military officers to temporarily disable, incapacitate or deter opponents without causing death or permanent injury. Some types of non-lethal weapons are already familiar while others are just now finding a place in national arsenals. Most dramatically, a host of novel non-lethal weapons is about to cascade out of laboratories, affording soldiers and law enforcement personnel dazzling new capabilities to defeat enemies without causing excessive collateral damage. But with these inherent powers come new dangers. Artikel-Nr. 9780521674355
