Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In many § 1983 actions, the plaintiff seeks to impose liability not only on the officer who directly engaged in the allegedly unconstitutional conduct (e.g., a police officer) but also on a supervisory official (e.g., the chief of police). The claim against the supervisor is frequently premised upon allegations that the supervisor knew or should have known there was danger that the subordinate would engage in the unconstitutional conduct, and that the supervisor had the authority to take steps to prevent the conduct, yet failed to act. Like municipal liability, claims against supervisors normally seek to impose liability upon one party (the supervisor) for a wrong directly inflicted by another party (the subordinate). In some cases, however, a supervisor may have directly inflicted the harm or participated in doing so. |
