2. KIDNAPPING
• Kidnapping, a word derived from kid, meaning child and nap (nab) meaning
snatch, recorded since 1673, was originally used as a term for the practice of
stealing children for use as servants or labourers in the American colonies.
• This is a common law offense requiring
• that one person takes and carries another away
by force or fraud without the consent of the
person taken and without lawful excuse

3. BACKGROUND

4. SPECIFIC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
• Ransom
• Revenge
• Murder
• Bargain/Blackmail
• Political Issues
• Show popularity/supremacy
• To get confidential information

5. WHY KIDNAPPING?
• • Easy to commit
• • More gain, low risk
• • No specific law
• • Post arm conflict condition

6. Kidnapping for ransom is
certainly a common
occurrence in many parts of
the world today (especially
in Latin America) and
certain countries are often
described as the “Kidnapping
Capital of the World.”

8. Mexico
1,583 kidnappings in 2013,
although as many as 99% may be
going unreported.
.
Mexico is a fairly equal-
opportunity country when it
comes to stealing people,
though the more-publicised
and brutal incidents mostly
involve locals, not tourists.
Unless you’re an international
drug mule the cartels will
likely leave you alone. It’s the
random street thugs and rogue
cab drivers that you should
worry about

9. PREVENTION OF KIDNAPPING
• Children need to be taught to be cautious and to be a little suspicious of strangers
• Never discuss important and confidential things in front of office staffs, any
servants, maids,
• Any threatening phone calls or letters should be reported to the police
• Keep a low profile and don't let newspapers,
magazines, or TV crews get pictures of you or
family members (such pictures make it easy for
would-be kidnappers to identify you)

10. KIDNAPPING LAW
A person who is convicted of kidnapping is usually
sentenced to prison for a certain number of years.
In some states, and at the federal level, the term of
imprisonment may be the remainder of the
offender's natural life
