Download or read book Kidnapping Or Assassination written by John Uwaya and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is constitutional for governments to protect residents but that is not practicable everywhere and every time. So, individuals and organizations have to take proactive steps that among other objectives, deter, detect and delay crime while law enforcement agencies are awaited to perform their constitutional role of protection. But those steps can only be taken with proper understanding of the kidnap and assassination threats. To that end, kidnapping can be defined as detaining a person by force against his or her will. It's traumatic and understandably, impacts both victim and acquaintances negatively. Even after humiliating political or bankrupting financial concessions, a victim's safety is not guaranteed. In fact, after concessions, only 40% of prolonged kidnap victims are uninjured or not dead according to Control Risks of London. All that calls for proactive threat mitigation plans. Although initially associated with political extremism, kidnapping took on economic dimension by 1999 with a 40% leap in victim haul skyrocketing global annual ransom to $500 million. Hence kidnapping is now largely for economic reasons and neither the scourge of failed or failing states nor are the victims restricted to particular socio-economic brackets. Rather, all - including politicians, business tycoons, performing artists, topflight civil servants, expatriates, clergymen, etc. and their associates are now at risk. On the other hand, assassination or targeted killing as homicide, is carried out by a crime target's business or political rivals for a competitive or political edge. Besides national causal factors, the negative fallouts of globalization including relaxed international borders and InfoTech enhanced anonymity for criminals, are making assassination or targeted killing wide-spread. But as both the kidnap and assassination threats follow identifiable steps to succeed, it is possible to proactively focus on the "how" rather than the "who" to pre-empt pending attacks. Even where a target unfortunately falls victim of kidnapping in particular, prior enlightenment would hone his or her survival instincts to neutralize the destructive power of morbid fear - a captive's worst enemy. So, be proactive! Read this book now and not later.
