The following paper outlines the findings from an exploratory analysis of the hostage and crisis negotiator deployment database that was piloted within Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies prior to national rollout of a centralised and standardised online recording mechanism for negotiator deployments across the majority of police forces within the UK. The research utilised a descriptive research design, whereby the secondary data from an initial 24-month recording period was analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings provide a descriptive representation of (1) the socio-demographic characteristics of the subjects encountered by negotiators, (2) the typical situational characteristics/circumstances in which subjects present and the most frequently encountered subject impact factors and (3) how hostage/crisis incidents are typically resolved. The findings are discussed with relevance to the implications for negotiator practice and policy. An emphasis is placed on identification of recommendations for improving the discipline of hostage and crisis negotiation via the standardisation of deployment recording and targeted/focused training and continuing professional development of negotiators based on the characteristics of deployments observed.

了解英国人质和危机谈判的普遍性和态势特征：来自国家谈判代表部署数据库的试点数据分析

以下文件概述了对人质和危机谈判员部署数据库的探索性分析结果，该分析是在诺福克和萨福克警察局在全国范围内部署集中化和标准化的在线记录机制以在英国大多数警察部队中部署谈判员部署之前进行的。该研究采用描述性研究设计，从而使用描述性统计数据分析了最初24个月记录期间的次要数据。调查结果提供了以下描述性描述：（1）谈判者遇到的受试者的社会人口统计学特征；（2）受试者所处的典型情况特征/情况以及最经常遇到的受试者影响因素；（3）人质/危机事件通常得到解决。讨论结果与谈判者实践和政策的含义相关。重点放在确定建议，以通过标准化部署记录和针对性/重点培训以及谈判人员根据观察到的部署特征的持续专业发展来改善人质和危机谈判的纪律。
