When encountering someone in a potentially dangerous crisis situation, what tactics have you personally found to be most beneficial in de-escalating?

Great advice, much appreciated!

Wow thanks for the thorough and detailed response, that's really fascinating! The ol statue of shame, not a bad idea to discourage bad behavior, we ought to bring that back, and maybe even the nude and oily part as well!

Yesterday I was reading that the Olympics were originally performed in the nude, with the exception of a belt, while being lathered in oil. Can you confirm this? Do you know what the purpose of the oil or the belt was?
