Results from "two recent unpublished NIJ-funded studies that used different methodologies to test pepper spray's safety and effectiveness" are reported (p. ii). In addition to an executive summary, this document contains sections about: a North Carolina study regarding the benefits of pepper spray use; a study of in-custody deaths following the use of pepper spray; the use of pepper spray and positional restraint; and practical implications. Overall, "pepper spray is a reasonably safe and effective tool for law enforcement officers to use when confronting uncooperative or combative subjects" (p. 13).
