What is a common reaction of a suspect during an arrest?

While submission without resistance can occur, it is important to consider the context of a typical response during an arrest. Many suspects may feel cornered and see their options as limited, which often leads to active resistance or attempts to escape.

The reaction of submission without resistance is not particularly common, as individuals can react in a variety of ways based on several factors such as their prior experiences with law enforcement, mental state, or the nature of the arrest.

In many cases, suspects may instinctively react to the stress of the situation and the feeling of being overpowered by law enforcement. This often leads to attempts to flee or resisting arrest as a means of coping with their circumstances.

Understanding this spectrum of responses helps law enforcement to better prepare for encounters, anticipating that while some individuals may submit voluntarily, many will likely react in ways that require officers to be vigilant and ready to respond to potential resistance or escape attempts.
