TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - A global lethal force monitor: comparative opportunities and challenges JO - Homicide studies A1 - Rappert, Brian A1 - Adang, Otto A1 - De Paepe, Jasper A1 - Dymond, Abi A1 - Easton, Marleen A1 - Probert, Thomas SP - 187 EP - 203 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - Comparison across jurisdictions is one way of assessing the appropriateness of lethal force resulting from the actions of law enforcement agencies. This article sets out a vision for a global use of force monitor that can enable meaningful comparisons between law enforcement agencies. It examines some of the opportunities and challenges associated with developing such a monitor in relation to (i) the legal frameworks in place governing use of lethal force; (ii) how official state agencies record and respond to deaths; and (iii) the contexts for the use of lethal force.
