For those of you who are members of the World Future Society, the October 1999 issue of The Futurist, has an article on Nonlethal Weapons: pgs 34-38. It also has a counterpoint on pages 39-40.
Recomended books are:
"Future War: Non-Lethal Weapons in Twenty-First Century Warefare"
John B. Alexander, St. Martin's Press, 1999
And
FORUM for Applied Resarch and Public Policy (Summer, 1999)
perhaps including

and

I personally would be much happier if the police were required to use methods that are unlikely to leave holes in my body.
