Ethics of Hostage Negotiation

An angry criminal takes a hostage and demands to speak with authorities. Who's most qualified to take the phone? What strategy might have worked with David Koresh? Jim Botting, author of Bullets, Bombs and Fast Talk: 25 Years of FBI War Stories, describes the adventures and dilemmas of his seventeen years as hostage negotiator for the FBI. Shirley Hoogstra hosts.

I have a family friend who is now a retired Met Police Negotiator and been all round the world working with the best in the UK and States. Told me some great and really tragic stories during his service in the Met. A great book to read is The Negotiator by Ben Lopez, its brilliant and touching book. Given me ideas to create a series around the idea.
