Kolluğun aşırı güç kullandığına dair haberler ve/veya iddialar sık sık medyada yer almaktadır. Sadece ülkemizde değil dünyanın her yerinde polisin güç kullanımı yasal bir dayanağı olmasından bağımsız, bir şiddet hareketi olarak ele alınabilmekte ve eleştirilmektedir. Yasal bir dayanağı olmakla birlikte, güç kullanmada aşırıya gidilmesi veya sınırların zorlanması güvenlik ve kolluk hizmetleri üzerine yapılan araştırmalarda en çok tartışılan konuların başında gelmektedir. Aşırı güç kullanılmasının ise sosyal, psikolojik ve kurumsal açıklamaları bulunmaktadır. Ülkemizde de zor kullanma ile ilgili tartışmalar son dönemlerde özellikle artış göstermektedir. Bu nedenle konunun akademik çalışmalarda daha detaylı incelenmesine ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır

Anahtar Kelimeler

Kolluk, polis, güç kullanma, şiddet, direnç, yasal güç kullanma, zorunlu güç kullanma, güç kullanma silsilesi
