5.0 out of 5 stars THE Book, August 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crisis Negotiations: Managing Critical Incidents and Hostage Situations in Law Enforcement and Corrections (Paperback)

If you are looking for simply the most comprehensive, detailed and relevant book in the field you can not miss this one. It is the negotiator's Bible.

2.0 out of 5 stars Basic. REALLY basic., November 6, 2006

By	Navigator (Los Gatos, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crisis Negotiations: Managing Critical Incidents And Hostage Situations in Law Enforcement And Corrections (Paperback)

Unless you're totally devoid of common sense and spectacularly clueless about any hostage crisis that's taken place in the last thirty years, there's nothing that this book will give you that you don't already have. As a guide for the street officer who doesn't routinely find himself handling crisis negotiations, it's O.K., but for someone planning to specialize in the field and who needs accurate and detailed information about advanced techniques, this book is largely a waste of time and money. (Especially money - the book is outrageously overpriced.)

By	Mike Bianco Police Officer (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crisis Negotiations: Managing Critical Incidents and Hostage Situations in Law Enforcement and Corrections (Paperback)

What an outstanding book... I have read lots of stuff on crisis/hostage negotiation and barricade situations, but this book sums it all up! Two thumbs up...

5.0 out of 5 stars for a good job
It's a very good book about the matter, whit fundamental topics. Usefull for the pro's and rookies, too. A great buy for his words, but a little expensive for a paperback.
