Which of the following techniques is meant for controlling passive resistance?

The technique intended for controlling passive resistance is the application of joint locks and pressure points. Joint locks are maneuvers that affect the joints in a way that restricts the movement of an individual, while pressure points are specific areas on the body that, when pressed, can cause pain or discomfort and encourage compliance without causing injury.

These techniques are particularly useful in managing situations where an individual is not aggressively resisting but is also not complying with commands. They allow a security officer to apply a certain level of control calmly and effectively, maintaining a focus on de-escalation rather than aggressive confrontation. In contrast, other methods such as firearms and projectiles, striking and kicking, and physical intimidation can escalate a situation and potentially lead to increased violence, making them unsuitable for situations where the goal is to control passive resistance.
