Abstract
Police use of TASER can have serious consequences; therefore, it is important to examine any modifiable operational factors that impact an officer’s decision to use TASER. As previous research has identified a potential relationship between crewing and TASER use, a systematic review was undertaken to explore which factors might impact use of TASER by the Police Service of England and Wales, including officer crewing levels. Over 14,000 records were screened, resulting in a final sample of 20 studies; with findings indicating that further research is needed to better understand TASER use and ensure policy is well informed and appropriate.
