A STANDARD
SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION
It is
important to define what would not constitute a hostage situation and therefore
a hostage murder. A homicide-to-be involves a situation where clear threats or
actual injuries are made to victims and no substantive demands are made on a
third party. These victims are primary targets of the offender and are not
being used as bargaining chips for money or freedom. The offender who kills
this type of victim is usually impelled by other motivations, such as revenge
or an authority conflict; therefore, this offense would be categorized under
another, more appropriate classification.
