| Innhold: | Abstract
This paper discusses the use of pepper spray (OC-spray) in the Scandinavian po-lice forces with a special emphasis on Denmark. Since the spray’s introduction to Denmark in 2008, it has been used about 1450 times annually. The use of pepper spray does not seem to have caused any substantial reduction in the use of other kinds of force by police, as was predicted in the trial preceding its introduction to the force. A limited comparison with Norway suggests that the Danish police use pepper spray far more frequently than their Norwegian counterparts. This may be due to the fact that the rules surrounding pepper spray use are more lenient in Denmark than Norway. |
