New Study: Excited Delirium, Injury, and Use of Force | Force Science Institute
New Study: Excited Delirium, Injury, and Use of Force | Force Science Institute: A new study led by Simon Baldwin1 examined over 10,700 use of force cases and found a significant risk of adverse outcomes in cases involving excited delirium syndrome (ExDS).2
Researchers assumed that an encounter with someone exhibiting probable ExDS might result in adverse outcomes, including greater levels of force and increased risk of injury to the subject and officer. This latest study was designed to clarify how often these encounters result in multiple use-of-force attempts, ineffective use of force, injuries to subjects, and injuries to officers.
