My guest is a retired member of the New York City Police Department and is a trainer to police officers from many countries. He has had experience in many high profile cases including hostage cases. He explains what hostage negotiation is, why this alternative style of policing (compared with tactical policing, which is often considered the final option when all else fails) is needed to resolve crisis incidents and why it has become so prevalent in police forces since 1973.

Jack explains the four things that occur (fight, flight, freeze and face) when people try to make decisions under stress and how a police negotiator can help a hostage taker to make rational decisions. He also talks about what a hostage negotiation course looks like and what qualities and training a hostage negotiator needs.

My guest Marina Cantacuzino is the Founder of The Forgiveness Project, an award-winning journalist, peace activist and podcaster of ‘The F Word Podcast’. Marina talks about how her charity ‘The Forgiveness Project’ was established in response to the war in Iraq and how it evolved. She also describes how to cope with pain and trauma by exploring forgiveness, how healing works, some of the work she has done with inmates in prisons and what led her to do her podcast ‘the F Word’.

She emphasises the power of storytelling in this episode and believes sharing real stories of transformation reaches across rifts. She mentions the book ‘South of Forgiveness’: A True Story of Rape and Responsibility by Elva Thordis – Tom Stranger, an unprecedented collaboration between survivor and perpetrator in our talk.

My guest Tom Kosakowski is Health Sciences Ombuds at the University of Southern California. Tom explains how ombuds programs were initiated in the US in the late 1960’s and how they have evolved and progressed over time by serving all stakeholders. He also talks about how the changing university student profile is contributing to the adoption of these programs and why ombuds programs are needed. We also address how medical schools are unique settings for ombuds’ services and what the future of ombuds as an institution will be across the globe. As an institution, ombuds seems to be growing and has proven to have helped universities be more progressive and compassionate in the last three decades.

My guest is Colin Rule- CEO and President of Mediate.com, Mediator Trainer and Consultant. Colin explains how online dispute resolution systems (ODR) first came about in the late 90’s when e-commerce took off and his experiences working on disputes and building the resolution centre at eBay. With all these millions of cases increasing each year across the e-commerce industry, Colin maintains that the best way to resolve a dispute is to prevent it in the first place. He talks about his interest in resolving conflicts before they go to court and how ODR works to expand people’s access to justice. We discuss how the satisfaction of customers are skilfully measured and how ODR is flowering across many industries i.e delivery services like Deliveroo.

Maria Volpe is a Professor of Sociology and the Director of the Dispute Resolution Program and the Center at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, at the City University of New York. Since she established one of the largest list servers in the world about conflict resolution after the 9/11 events in NYC, I ask her how she did that and what was her goal behind launching it. She talks about what conflict resolvers can do in response to disasters and tragedies and what dispute resolution interventions and initiatives (i.e conflict coaching to provide guidance and help) dispute resolvers have in an emergency, as well as for students and the community to achieve violence prevention and peacebuilding. We discuss the rationale behind the use of mediation in the police force and whether mediation can work in the police force. Maria believes so.
