Cause And Effect Of Kidnapping

Have you ever walked into Wal-Mart and taken the time to look at the numerous pictures of missing youth that is plastered on the wall? When looking at how long they have been missing, it ranges anywhere from months to years. Looking at their age, both boys and girls, it is hard not to wonder if these kids are being trafficked. Child sex trafficking, also known as human trafficking, is a major issue that is not only plaguing the United States, but the world. Residing in a state where teen sex trafficking is very common, it is imperative that not only adults, but the youth understand what child sex/human trafficking is, what is a sex-trafficker, and the data that reveals the seriousness of child sex

Imagine your 9-year-old daughter just riding her bike in the streets with her little brother. She is as happy as she can be. Then in a split second a pickup truck drives by and swoops her up. You have no idea what to do except call the police. Once you did there wasn't much they can do about a child abduction. Well, this all changed in 1996 when a little girl named Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered.

According to the United States Department of Justice every forty seconds a child is being abducted. This works out to be about 2,000 abductions per day and 800,000 abductions per year. This would be 11.4 children per every 1,000 children being abducted. Seventy-five percent of abductions are committed by males. Sixty-seven percent of these perpetrators are under the age of twenty-nine. Seventy-four percent of children abducted are girls. Seventy-one percent of the kidnappers are strangers to the victims. Eighty percent of abductions occur within a quarter of a mile from where the child lives. Less than sixty of the children are returned to their families alive. Four percent of the children abducted are never found. Seventy-four

Nearly all civilization at one point practiced bride or wife kidnapping. The reason why wife kidnapping was practiced and was accepted by society is because gender equality was not an important issue at the time. Also, the men who practiced this tradition were mostly people of power and authority. In modern society, gender equality and feminism are a big deal in all societies around the world with the exception of a Central Asian country called Kyrgyzstan. To this day, people in Kyrgyzstan still practice the old tradition of bride kidnapping even though it is against the law in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan has witnessed many women, who were kidnapped to be a bride, suicide because their freedom is taken away from them. Another reason why kidnapped

A non-family abduction occurs when a nonfamily perpetrator takes a child by using physical force, threat of bodily harm, or detaining the child for a substantial amount of time in an isolated location (Finkelhor, Hammer, & Sedlak, 2002). In 2002, 58,200 were estimated to have been abducted by a nonfamily perpetrator (Finkelhor, Hammer, & Sedlak, 2002). According to the FBI, there are four types of nonfamilial child abductors. The first type that the FBI identified is who we know as pedophiles. A pedophile can be defined as someone who is sexually attracted to young children (Dictionary, n.d.). They are also known to be the largest single category of child abductors (Burgess, Regehr, & Roberts, 2013). The second type identified is serial

Human trafficking affects our children and our schools more than most realize. It is estimated that more than 200,000 American children are trafficked each year in America. Victims of trafficking often come from vulnerable populations, including migrants, oppressed or marginalized groups, runaways or displaced persons, and the poor (Talati). The children most likely to be targeted by traffickers are those not living with their parents, who are vulnerable to coerced labor exploitation, domestic servitude, or prostitution. Sex traffickers target children because of their vulnerability and gullibility, as well as the market demand for young victims. Studies have shown that it is not just high school children at risk, demonstrating that pimps prey on victims as young as 12 years old. Victims

If you just look in the paper you will see pictures of children who have been missing for a while and those who have recently disappeared. Stolen was written to show real world scenarios. “Your parents are assholes. Their main concern is making money, making their house look like something out of magazine, and getting mentioned in the society pages” (Christopher 109). In today’s society all you see is the latest trends, the biggest houses, nicest cars; that’s all that people care about.

The maximum penalty for kidnapping in Queensland is 7 years imprisonment. In the Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld) defines kidnapping as “a person kidnaps another person if the person unlawfully and forcibly takes or detains the other person with the intent to gain anything from any person or to produce anything to be done or omitted to be done”. Kidnapping is a crime because it is taking a person against their will for an unlawful purpose. Criminological theories are used as the main explanations for criminal behaviour or criminality (White & Perrone 2010). By applying a criminological theory to kidnapping it gives an insight into why the offence is committed in the first place and how limitations of a criminological theory could ultimately stop the crime from occurring.

The effect human trafficking has on world today. Human trafficking is victims have been the most disrespect and terrified people in the world. They are sold to slavery either for sex or labor services. The sad part about human trafficking happens right under our noises. I think in some cases of the Unite States some of larger companies that are outsourcing human trafficking in order to keep their business standards by keeping customers happy. Most underage girls from ages 12-18 are used for human trafficking. Some of those girls are runways, or drug addictive and kidnapping from their parent. Human trafficking is the most profitable slavery around the world. Most of majority of human trafficking victims are very vulnerable such as, selling of small children, young underage women and sometimes elderly adults. I really think if someone who condemns this kind of brutal act toward anyone should be sent straight to electric chamber to die. Human trafficking victims has been caught and sold to higher bid for sex or slavery.

“ Have a great summer and be safe!” My third grade teacher told us as we all started to exit the class when the bell rang. As I’m walking to dismissal, I thought to myself “ be safe.” I felt as if nothing can happen to us over summer break, we’re just kids. I was excited for this particular summer because I was finally leaving Texas and traveling to Florida by myself to finally reunite with my godmother after not seeing her for eight years.

The worst part about all of this is that it can happen anywhere and now a days it could happen at any time. Run away children also have a very high chance of being abducted, 1 out of 5 runaway children are brought into human trafficking. “Of those, 74% were in the care of social services or foster care when they ran.” More than 31,600 total cases of human trafficking have been reported to the Hotline in the last eight years. And that is just in the United States and that is only the reported cases of Human Trafficking. Like I said previously it is worse than it’s ever been but with so much focus on immigration and the election the media has almost forgot to report how bad it is, for example lately they have also been taking a couple hundred men which isn’t a lot but just goes to show you that almost nobody is safe now a days. That is why now a days you should never travel alone and always have your cell phone on you and ready to
