The use of electronic control devices (TASERS) is hotly debated among law enforcement professionals and advocates for prisoners' rights. Williams, a former police chief and instructor in the criminal justice department at Sam Houston State University, presents data, including over one hundred individual cases of in-custody death to demonstrate that the use of TASERS rarely results in death, but that other factors are often involved such as pre-existing conditions and drug use. Williams bases many of his conclusions on the fact that death from the use of the TASER was not instantaneous. He adds that the TASERS made today rely on electronic disruption of muscles rather than the induction of pain. The author's bias is straightforward. Therefore this study is best used in conjunction with others on the topic. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
