CPS STUDENTS AND FACULTY CO-AUTHOR PAPER

CPS Doctoral candidates Brandi Booth, Amy Angleman, Emmanuel Finney, and Professors Craig Marker and Vincent Van Hasselt, are co-authors on a paper recently accepted by the journal, “Victims and Offenders.” The article, “Captive-Taking in the Context of Domestic Violence: A Descriptive Analysis”, examined demographic, situational, and outcome variables characterizing cases of hostage-taking during violent domestic events in the home. Data were obtained from the FBI’s Hostage/Barricade Database System. Supervisory Special Agent Gregory Vecchi, Ph.D., of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit, and Mr. Stephen Romano, retired Chief of the Bureau’s Crisis Negotiation Unit, are also co-authors on the study.
