Summary
Injuries from physical force during legal interventions differ between civilians and law enforcement officials (LEO). Civilians sustained more severe injuries, particularly to the face and abdomen, while LEO had more fractures.
Area of Science:
- Traumatology
- Forensic Medicine
- Public Health
Background:
- Limited data exists on injuries from physical force during legal interventions.
- Manhandling injuries affect both civilian suspects and law enforcement officials (LEO).
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze and compare the types and severity of manhandling injuries in civilian suspects versus LEO.
- To identify distinct injury patterns between these two groups.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective cross-sectional study utilizing the National Trauma Data Bank.
- Identification of patients with manhandling injuries via ICD-10 e-codes.
- Comparison of injury types, severity (Injury Severity Score - ISS), and outcomes between civilian suspects and LEO.
Main Results:
- The study included 507 patients: 426 civilians and 81 LEO.
- Civilians had a higher median ISS and were more prone to face and abdominal injuries.
- LEO sustained more tibia/fibula fractures; civilian mortality was 1.2%, with no deaths among LEO.
Conclusions:
- Significant differences exist in injury patterns and severity between civilians and LEO injured during legal interventions.
- Further research is needed for a comprehensive understanding and prevention of these injuries.

Torts in nursing are wrongful acts that can harm patients and potentially lead to civil liability for the involved nurse. These wrongful acts range from unintentional errors to deliberate actions. Depending on the nature and severity of the tort, a nurse found liable may face financial penalties or disciplinary actions. Understanding the distinctions between intentional, quasi-intentional, and unintentional torts is crucial for nurses to mitigate risks and provide safe patient care.
