In Level 2 verbal commands, what are low-level consequences designed to do?

Low-level consequences in Level 2 verbal commands are designed to allow the subject to reflect on their actions. This approach encourages the individual to consider the potential outcomes of their behavior without resorting to immediate or drastic measures. By providing an opportunity for reflection, the officer can create a space for the subject to understand the implications of their actions, which can lead to voluntary compliance and a more constructive dialogue. This method is often more effective in avoiding escalation and fostering cooperation, as it prioritizes communication and understanding over force or authority.

Creating an environment where the subject can think about their actions helps reduce tension and opens the door for a more peaceful resolution.
