The standoff and ultimate tragedy in Waco, Texas highlights the potential volatility and uncertainty of crisis negotiations and demonstrates the challenges law enforcement officials face as they attempt to resolve these situations. This work provides a practical negotiation approach that hostage negotiators and first responders can use to help save lives in situations where violence or the threat of violence is present. The S.A.F.E. model is based on four 'triggers': Substantive Demands: the instrumental wants/demands made by the parties; Attunement: the relational trust established between the parties; Face: the self image of each of the parties that is threatened or honoured; and Emotion: The degree of emotional distress experienced by the parties. It identifies methods of interaction and communication during a hostage crisis that help to dispel tension and resolve situations peacefully. Combining approaches from various schools of thought on the topic, and applying the methods to both domestic and international contexts, the author has devised a model that is applicable to many types of crisis negotiations and focuses on interaction, communication, and discourse designed to bring a situation down to a manageable level. Through the analysis of several cases representing domestic, criminal, and suicidal situations, the author provides a vivid roadmap to the ways in which crisis negotiation can be used to dispel violence before it takes place.
