Which of the following statements reflects a Graham v. Connor factor?

• A. The weather at the scene.
• B. The suspect's age.
• C. The number of witnesses present.
• D. The severity of the crime, immediacy of threat, and whether the suspect is actively resisting or attempting to flee.

Answer: (D)

Graham v. Connor frames the assessment of police use of force as an objective reasonableness question. The test weighs three critical factors: the severity of the crime, the immediacy of the threat, and whether the suspect is actively resisting or attempting to flee. These factors guide what a reasonable officer would do under the circumstances known at the time; weather, the suspect’s age, or how many witnesses are present do not belong to that framework.
