Kidnap

Stockholm Syndrome is a strange and exceedingly complex condition, most commonly seen in victims of a hostage situation, or similar experience. It is characterized by the victim developing positive empathy towards their ‘captor,’ and negative emotions towards others who seem like they are of help, such as doctors or police officers; another, lesser known, part of Stockholm Syndrome is the fact that the captor creates an emotional bond with their hostage as well. Rarely do the impacts of this disorder subside once the immediate danger has concluded, and often do they continue into years, and possibly decades of therapy.

Stockholm syndrome is found in people who are held captive and have close contact with those who have kidnapped them. They develop a bond with their captors and feelings of sympathy for them. It is widely known to be found in

Many kidnappings that have happened around the United States mainly connect with children wanting to leave with a stranger even though they know that it is wrong. How is it that adults are capable of luring children into coming with them even though they are complete strangers? Furthermore, do not parents teach their kids not to go with strangers and if it does happen that they should scream for help? Sure, yet children still willingly go with strangers. Perhaps something about them kidnapers convinces children that it is okay. Statistics show that ninety-eight percent of abducted children do not survive beyond the first 30 days (Smart 4). Some tactics that kidnappers use on their kidnap children are brainwashing, hypnosis, and physical

There are a number of important principles to think about when you are planning for healthy and safe environments or activities with children and young people. Most of these are common sense – just remember: everyone is an individual and may have particular needs. If you are clear about the following points it will become second nature to include safety in your planning.

Abduction n.- the action or an instance of forcibly taking someone away against their will. In the book, The Cellar by Natasha Preston, is about a teenager who decided to go have a fun, memorable night with friends and the ended up getting abducted and locked up for eight months. Coming of age is shown throughout this book. Coming of age is shown because Summer deals with being abused,the death of others, and being thrown back into society after a long period of time.

This paper is on the Psychological effects that Human Trafficking has on a society and the individual. It will describe stories of experiences and stories of hard ache. As this is not only a major factor here in the United States but is also a major factor and issue around the world. I will briefly describe the national and worldly effect that this may have on the way people are treated on an everyday occurrence and how sheltered people, mainly women have become.

Originally, the crime of kidnapping was defined as the unlawful and non-consensual transportation of a person from one country to another. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, states began to redefine kidnapping, most notably eliminating the requirement for interstate transport. Under the laws of most states, kidnapping is a crime where the victim has transported a substantial distance or held in a place of isolation through the use of force. Kidnapping statutes also define a set of purposes for kidnapping including collecting ransom, inflicting bodily injury, or terrorizing

As many Stockholm victims, Hearst begins to depend on her captors and trust them. The victims may feel the kidnappers are their only source of food, water and shelter. The kidnappers may use these privileges as a reward and punishment system. Depending on the abductor and how long he may keep the person, they also begin to develop feel for the victim. The kidnapper may also lie to the victim, tell them all their family is dead, they are not wanted or their family is no longer looking for them.

Another cause of corruption is officers developing friendships to some degree with particular inmates (Brasswell, McCarthy, & McCarthy, 2008). While this is not necessarily a negative aspect of the job, it can lead to corruption. “Friends” are expected to look out for each other; this means that guards are expected to allow the befriended inmates to have certain luxuries. In the event of the formation of such relationships, an occurrence similar to Stockholm syndrome, with the effects reversed, may occur. The guard (the captor, in this case) may begin to feel that his “friend” (the captured inmate) is also a victim. That feeling, in turn, will lead to a heightened sense of compassion toward the inmate and an increased sense of duty to assist the inmate whenever and wherever possible.

“A third method used by traffickers is kidnapping. Those approached to work in the sex industry but who are unwilling to leave their country of origin may be kidnapped.” (Hodge)

Safety: the definition must have changed. It used to mean someone, something, or somewhere that provided someone comfort and no harm. Now there is no true safety, there is no genuine comfort, and there is no way to get out of harm's grasp. Safety is just a word, meaningless and empty.

There have been over 60,000 reported abductions worldwide. In most cases, the victims are returned but don’t remember a thing. And in some, the victims are lost forever. The story I’m about to tell you is one of the most bizarre ones ever recorded. So bizarre that it took more than ten years to be able

In Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan by Franco Galdini, he reveals that, “11,800 girls kidnapped each year, 2,000 raped.” This shows the devastating number of women that go through this each year. It also bring forth the fact that numerous women face brutal consequences because of this including rape. Franco Galdini also reveals the fact that, “92 percent of all kidnapped women end up marrying their abductor, 60 percent of those marriages will eventually lead to divorce.” This implies how more than half of the women kidnapped are unhappy in their marriage. It also implies that most women that are kidnapped do not want to marry their abductor and or are not in love with them because if they were their marriage would be forever. In Bride Kidnapping:A Tradition or a Crime? by Farangis Nahibullas she tells us that, “Between 68 and 75 percent of marriages in Kyrgyzstan take place with bride kidnapping.” This indicates the drastic number of marriages as a result of bride kidnappings. This evidence does not lie unfortunately, and the facts of these kidnappings make it even more real. Studying these kidnappings into even more depth leads us into even more harsh

Imagine being 6 or 7 years old and being ripped from your mothers grip as some stranger takes you to a different unfamilar place. There are two major types of kidnapping stranger and parental. Today every 40 seconds in the

Also, a victim's values and perceptions of a trafficker can also be affected by the need for survival such as in Withelma Ortiz Case. She was 10 when she met a man who began selling her for sex. After five years of abuse, her pimp was arrested on sex-trafficking charges and when he was put on trial, she refused to testify against him. A decision that she now considers was made due to Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome is a survival technique used by victims of forced will, such as sex trafficking, that helps the victim survive. It is an emotional bond between a trafficker and a victim that developed to the extent of where the victim no longer sees the trafficker as a threat but develops a sense of affection towards them. For most victims of human trafficking, there is a threat to their physical and emotional survival, which is due to that fact that no matter the situation, a victim is dependant on the trafficker and likely
