Meaning and scope
Definition
Pursuit is an event in which one subject follows another moving subject in an effort to close the distance. It does not determine crime, threat, capture, violence, police involvement, sport, motive, morality, or outcome.
In more detail
It concerns the movement relationship between a leading subject and a following subject that attempts to reduce their distance. It is distinct from merely moving in the same direction, running alongside, and a procession.
Includes
- One subject following another moving subject in an effort to close the distance
