Injuries and deaths proximate to Oleoresin Capsicum spray .: PS83-5/R405E-PDF

"The primary goal of this literature review was to assess research (both published and unpublished) related to injuries and death proximate to Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray deployment. OC spray contains the active ingredient oleoresin capsicum which can be produced synthetically, but is also a naturally occurring substance found in some peppers. OC spray is often used as a pain compliance technique to control subjects when they are being actively resistant or assaultive. OC spray is frequently used in military, law enforcement, and correctional settings"--Why we did this study, p. [1].
