How effective are the methods currently used to deal with hostage situations? This study attempts to answer that question by examining the ways in which terrorists manipulate the hostage/ barricade tactic-one of the most formidable and frightening devices in their arsenal-and by analyzing the response of law enforcement officers and policymakers to its use.
