That's where the legal community has not caught up with the medical/biotech/forensics community...

Any force is excessive on a child, healthy or not... Most force is excessive on adults, healthy or not.

But from my perspective, how does one keep criminals in line without that force?

I think technology will improve when human force or contact will be minimal. They already have tasers, there will be other technology in the future.

However more needs to be done on how populations or groups of people will react to that force. Individually, there is enough variation in the genetic make-up of someone that no one is identical with the exception of identical twins--which even then, they are finding differences... But collectively, within a population, there are similarities that can be measured and quantified generally how one reacts to something.

Even clones of things can be different in some aspects, such is the case for epigenetics...
