The enormous sums paid for the release of hostages coupled with
law enforcement s inability to stem the tide has made kidnapping
for ransom a worldwide plague. The increasing rate of reported
incidents from every corner of the globe suggests this plague is
growing.
Kidnap for Ransom: Resolving the Unthinkable removes the veil of
mystery and dispels some of the myths surrounding kidnapping. The
book provides security professionals, families, and law enforcement
personnel with the modern tools needed to understand and
effectively respond to the crime of kidnapping.
This volume traces the historical development of kidnapping for
ransom and studies the behaviors of perpetrators, victims, and
families. The author makes extensive use of case histories, and
includes comments and anecdotes from those who have actually
suffered at the hands of kidnappers. Based on his vast experience
managing these incidents, the author provides an overview of the
series of activities that represent the best opportunity for a
successful resolution of a kidnap for ransom scenario. This tried
and tested methodology for confronting kidnapping situations
enables victims, families, and organizations to have a fighting
chance.
In addition, the book examines how kidnappers operate and
describes the methods they use to select, target and abduct their
victims. The work also details preventive measures that an
individual can take to avoid becoming a victim, and the strategies
that one must apply to survive a kidnapping.
This is the first book to examine the kidnap for ransom
phenomenon and to reveal the process from the moment of the
kidnapping until the victim s safe return. The author s experience
as the principal consultant and manager in the successful
resolution of numerous kidnapping and extortion incidents makes
this book an invaluable tool for those charged with the
responsibility of kidnap prevention, as well as for those law
enforcement agents called on to mitigate the potential consequences
of an abduction in progress.
