Kidnapping

Kidnapping is a serious crime involving the unlawful taking or holding of a person against their will. Typically, this includes moving the person to a different location or confining them in a way that restricts their freedom. Kidnapping can occur for various motives, such as ransom, coercion, or personal gain. It’s important to note that it doesn't necessarily require the use of force; threats or deceit can also lead to a kidnapping charge. Victims often experience significant psychological trauma, and the law treats this crime with severe penalties due to its invasive nature.
