Which group is not typically known for taking hostages?

Social workers are typically not known for taking hostages as part of their professional responsibilities or activities. Their primary role involves supporting individuals and communities through counseling, advocacy, and social services, focusing on conflict resolution and support rather than perpetration of violence or criminal activity.

In contrast, psychotics, criminals, and terrorists may engage in hostage-taking due to various motivations, such as mental health crises, financial gain, or political objectives. Understanding the roles and typical behaviors of these different groups highlights the distinctive nature of social work compared to those that would engage in hostage situations.
