English term or phrase: Legal intervention
La frase aparece en la última parte de un certificado de defunción en donde se pregunta por

Manner of death:

 Disease  Assault  Could not be determined
 Accident  Legal intervention  Pending investigation
 Intentional self harm  War  Unknown

Lo he visto traducido como "intervención legal", pero pensando en la definición del término (Legal intervention is defined as “injuries inflicted by the police or other law-enforcing agents, including military on duty [excluding operations of war], in the course of arresting or attempting to arrest lawbreakers, suppressing disturbances, maintaining order, and other legal action.”33There are few published studies of deaths attributed to legal intervention in the United States) no estoy segura de que ese sea el término correcto, aún cuando lo he visto traducido así en documentos de Venezuela, por ejemplo. yo estoy en Chile.

Spanish translation:Intervención policial/Intervención de las fuerzas de de seguridad
Explanation:
Dado que "legal intervention" significa: "an incident in which an individual is shot by another individual who has legal authority to use deadly force", creo que estos términos serían los más indicados. También los encontré en algunos papers que adjunto.

intervención de la fuerza pública


Explanation:
Resulta suficientemente genérico y adecuado.

En Argentina se usa mucho "fuerzas de la policia policiales"; veo que en Chile se habla de "fuerzas de orden y seguridad publica".

Mucha suerte!
