Which category describes physical defiance to SF control?

• A. Resistant Active
• B. Compliant/Cooperative
• C. Resistant Passive
• D. Assaultive Bodily Harm

Answer: (A)

In SF control contexts, how a person responds to commands is categorized to guide response. Physical defiance is best described as Resistant Active, because “active” denotes overt, forceful resistance to control attempts—pulling away, pushing back, twisting out of a hold, or trying to break contact. This differs from resistant passive, which is nonviolent noncompliance without direct physical contest, and from compliant/cooperative behavior, which shows no resistance. Assaultive Bodily Harm refers to actions intended to injure, a higher-severity category than simple defiance. So the best fit for physical defiance is Resistant Active.
