Popis: | Hostage and barricade incidents are frequently encountered in law enforcement practice. When these situations occur police negotiators must establish effective communication with subjects whose underlying motivation may not be readily apparent. In order to better understand the factors influencing hostage-takers and barricaded subjects, this paper examines the characteristics of 120 hostage/barricade incidents. The results indicate that these criminal acts may be categorized into seven broad groupings according to the primary motivation of the subject. Each category has unique characteristics, implying that police must alter negotiation strategies according to the characteristics of the incident. The characteristics of each category are presented, along with other factors that may influence the success of hostage negotiations. |
