Kidnapping is a criminal act involving the illegal abduction of an individual through force or deception, or the unauthorized seizure and confinement of a person against their will. Criminals often employ force, deception, or coercion to abduct their victims. The rationale behind kidnapping varies, ranging from seeking ransom to forcing the victim to involuntarily force them to commit criminal acts. Abduction can have severe psychological and physical consequences for the victims, and it remains a concern for law enforcement authorities. Efforts to combat and prevent kidnapping involve stringent legal measures, and public awareness campaigns to ensure the safety and security of individuals.
