Once it is believed there is a more clearly defined analysis of the enemy, where they are coming from, and how they operate, the next question must be where and when they are going to strike next. Will it be a military target? Or are they considering attacking the civilian populace again? Maybe they are planning to attack a shopping mall, a church, or even a school.","PeriodicalId":89175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of police crisis negotiations : an international journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"149 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332580902865219","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59872435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple skills are practiced at the same time. This approach to training is called “concurrent” training. We use it when we train using full-blown scenarios that exercise the coordination and communications between teams. The scenarios exercise several multifaceted skills at once. The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (2009) defines concurrent as “operating or occurring at the same time; running parallel.” There is another approach to training, however, called “consecutive” training. It is used when we are learning the individual skills or the component parts of each multifaceted skill. For instance, active listening skills can be learned individually. We learn open-ended questions, then effective pauses, then minimal encouragers, etc. Lesson plans can be consecutive plans. That is, they are broken down into component parts and presented sequentially. Consecutive is defined by the Encarta World English Dictionary (2009) as “successive: following one after another without a break or interruption; following a logical or chronological sequence.” Athletes have found that concurrent training leads to poorer results than training consecutively. Strength training is done utilizing the consecutive repetitions of the same exercise utilizing heavy weights and short, intense training periods. Endurance training is best done utilizing repetitions, using less stress, over longer periods of time. Both training methods are consecutive training. Using concurrent training, combining strength and aerobic exercises, leads to poorer results on both than doing them separately.

The Internet was still a mystery to most outside of universities and certain divisions of government. Today we live in a world where connectivity is key to many of our day-to-day activities.

Suicide is a global problem, a leading cause of death in the world, claiming about 30,000 lives in the United States each year, and approximately 1 million annually world-wide. For law enforcement personnel to engage in an intervention strategy to protect the innocent and to prevent suicide is an expected response to the 9-1-1 call. Officers do respond and, on occasion, are successful in their intervention strategy. This article identifies from the literature aspects of behavior that may allow the responding officers to identify and interpret the behavior to protect themselves as well as to implement a successful intervention strategy.","PeriodicalId":89175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of police crisis negotiations : an international journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"105 - 118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332580902865110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59872284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike previous negotiation models, this model focuses on the communication of the negotiator rather than focusing on the communication or psychological state of the hostage taker. The model provides a framework of successful negotiation by analyzing and specifying the structure of previously successful negotiations. The resulting model consists of four phases, which are called Establishing Initial Dialogue, Building Rapport, Influencing, and Surrender.

In this editorial, I suggest that negotiators can follow the lead of established professions like psychology in developing their ethics.
