This week’s discussion board assignment is to answer the following question: What are some policies or techniques we could implement on the job that would help us recognize the influence of the Stockholm Syndrome? Discuss the influence from the standpoint of hostages as well as negotiators. 

 

E-Mail Assignments

Answer questions 1 and 4 in the chapter exercises found on pages 182 and 183 of the text.  Also, do the following exercise and e-mail your response to me.

A hostage has been released by the hostage taker after fifteen hours of captivity. This hostage has made numerous attempts to return to the hostage situation, has begged the police to “let the poor man alone,” and has refused to provide any intelligence to the police for fear that the police will harm the hostage taker.  You have been asked to speak to the ex-hostage. What kind of things might you say to him to help break the Stockholm Syndrome?
