Force Science Theory

Force Science Theory is a framework that examines how people perceive, respond to, and are affected by physical and psychological forces during high-stress situations, such as police encounters. It emphasizes that individuals' actions and reactions are influenced by factors like adrenaline, body mechanics, and environmental pressures, which can impact decision-making and physical capabilities. The theory aims to provide an evidence-based understanding of force in law enforcement and self-defense, helping professionals analyze incidents more accurately and fairly by considering how human perception and physiology operate under stress.
