What describes the use of more force than necessary to control a subject, potentially leading to criminal charges?

Justifiable force
Excessive force
Minimum force
Authorized force

The correct answer is: Excessive force

Excessive force refers to the use of more force than necessary to control a subject, potentially resulting in criminal charges. It is considered excessive because it goes beyond what is needed to effectively control a situation. Option A, justifiable force, may seem correct but it refers to the use of appropriate and necessary force to control a subject. Option C, minimum force, is also incorrect because it refers to the use of the least amount of force possible to control a situation. Option D, authorized force, may seem correct as it suggests that the use of force was authorized, however, excessive force goes beyond what is authorized and can still result in criminal charges.
