Abstract

In today's world replete with conflict, national law enforcement agencies are often required to assist in negotiating the release of kidnapped countrymen. There is, however, little understanding of the bargaining process among law enforcement officials. This paper was written by the author in an effort to equip law enforcement negotiators with the skills necessary to function in this high stakes trade in human misery. The paper outlines a model of response that includes kidnapper motivation, types of kidnapping, kidnap dynamics, management strategies and tactics.
