Abstract

An essay on the results of research regarding conducted energy devices (CED) such as oleoresin capsicum (OC) and TASER is presented. It offers media accounts on CED incidents that are fatal and others which are nonfatal and examines the identification of potential correlates of deaths caused CED exposure. The author reviews research on the use of CED and suggests another study methodology on the risk of death with the use of CED.
