Carl Klockars(1984) has described police control as having four major elements: authority, power, persuasion, and force. Authority is the unquestionable entitlement to be obeyed. Power is held by the organization, is drawn upon by the individual officer and implies that if there is resistance, it will be defeated. Persuasion involves the use of symbols, words, and arguments to convince the individual that he or she ought to comply with the rules. Force involves something very different from the other elements of control: physical control.
Carl Klockars曾描述警察控制力有四個主要的要素就是權威、權力、說服力和武力。權威是不容置疑的權利，而必須遵守。權力是組織所擁有，是被個別官員所行使，且意指如有阻力將擊潰之。說服力涉及使用符號、言辭及取信他人之論點，亦即使他或她必須遵從法律。武力非常不同於其他控制力的本質，涉及的是身體上的控制力(即強制力)。
Democracy does not guarantee that the judgment of public officials , such as the police,
will uniformly replicate those of the public. The power is delegated and must be
exercised according to the judgment of the individuals to whom it is delegated.
However, the public has a right to spell out the criteria by which the judgments should
be made, and to insist on both competence and good faith in the application of those
criteria.
民主並不保證像警察這樣的公職人員其裁決會一致地複製公眾的判斷。其權力是受委任的，並依據被委派者的個人判斷行使運用。然而，公眾有權來詳加說明出判斷的標準以及在運用那些標準的同時，要堅決要求能力和誠信。
A society is held together by force and constraint…that values are ruling rather than
common, enforced rather than accepted, at any given point in time. Although other
institutional means exist to establish officially sets of values and rules, they mean little
without some method of enforcement. To enforce the rules, we have created the social
institution of police and authorized it to use physical force, and are the only ones that
have a legitimate right to do so. in a sense, the government must use organized coercion
to prevent private coercion
社會是由武力和約束一起撐起... 在任何特定的時間點此價值在於管理統治，而非共有，強制，而非接受。儘管其他機構性的方法存在是要正式地建立一套價值觀和規則，但沒有一些執行的方法這一套價值觀和規則是沒什麼意義。為了要執行法規，我們創造了警方這樣的社會機構，並授權其使用武力，並且是唯一有合法權利可這樣做的社會機構。就某種意義而言，政府必須行使有組織系統的強制力，以防止私人性的脅迫。
