Strentz, Thomas and Melinda Voorhies. "Advanced Tactical Negotiating: Establishing Communications With an Adolescent-Hostage Taker." Law and Order 47, no. 10(October 1999): 229-32.
Abstract: The teenage years are troubled times for normal teenagers, and even more so for youths burdened by a dysfunctional family and real physical, psychological, or social problems. The typical teen has limited crisis resolution skills. However unreal, illogical, minimal or fictional the suspect's problem may seen, the trauma is very real to the troubled teenager. When negotiating with a teen in a hostage or crisis situation it is important to keep in mind that the negotiator's job consists only of resolving the immediate confrontation safely and getting him or her into custody. Finding long-term solutions is better handled by other professionals such as a psychiatrist or psychologist.
