Complaints under the category of 'other assault' against Nottinghamshire police force rose to 22% in the year 2007/8. This compares to 14% for the UK as a whole and is the second highest for any police force in the UK.

According to a recent report by the 'Indedpendent' Police Complaints Commission, the Other Assault category includes allegations that more force was used than was reasonable. It includes common assault, injuries resulting from the use of handcuffs and other assaults not resulting in an injury.
