Abstract
Abstract: The use of electroshock weapons, such as TASERS, has become widespread among defence agencies, including police departments and prison guards. It serves as a means to immobilize individuals and maintain control. Despite their effectiveness, these devices have a very long history of accidents, some of which have resulted in severe, and occasionally lethal, injuries. Acknowledging these inherent risks, there is a urgent need to explore alternatives that balance effectiveness with safety. This project introduces the concept of a "Stun Stick" as a potential less-lethal weapon, aiming to address the shortcomings of traditional electroshock devices. The Stun Stick offers the prospect of enhanced safety for both officers and subjects while preserving the imperative need for effective law enforcement tools. This discussion delves into the design, functionality, and potential benefits of the Stun Stick, advocating for a shift towards its consideration in the ongoing discourse surrounding lesslethal options for law enforcement agencies.
