Abstrakt: | The article focuses on the issues of excessive force in the workhorse of modern civil rights litigation in the U.S. focusing on two cases Kingsley v. Hendrickson and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents. Topics include history and development of Section 1983; court's incrementalist approach in developing Section 1983 case law, and use of doctrine of Fourteenth Amendment's substantive due process protections for establishing that excessive force cases should be replaced with an objective standard. |
