Active resistance is characterized by which of the following actions?

Active resistance is characterized by actions that demonstrate a refusal to comply with authority or directives while not escalating to physical aggression or attempts to flee. Non-assaultive actions to resist CSE (Crisis Situations and Engagement) orders can include behaviors such as refusing to comply with instructions, demonstrating defiance, or engaging in behaviors that deliberately disrupt or undermine the staff's directives without posing a direct threat to others. These actions require staff to employ de-escalation techniques or to implement strategies to manage the situation effectively, emphasizing communication and negotiation rather than force.

This contrasts with physical aggression towards others, which would represent a more serious level of resistance, and attempting to flee from staff, which indicates a more extreme avoidance behavior. Verbal refusal to comply could also fall under active resistance, but it is more specific and does not encompass broader non-assaultive actions that might not involve direct verbal communication. Thus, the inclusion of non-assaultive actions makes it a more comprehensive representation of active resistance.
