Kidnapping is the act of forcing people
and tie or close in a place. The reason behind that is to get the
ransom. Ransom is the money got from the family of victim.
Thousands of
professional gangs commit such criminal activity to get money.List of countries by kidnapping in the world
Rank | Country | Kidnappings |
---|---|---|
1 | India | 3,785 (2011), 60,000 Children (every year) |

Note: Table
figures are based on different year and time period. Thus, kidnapping
values are not showing the simple ranking structure based on figures.
But as per these previews figures and recent conditions I have ranked
the countries. Population and area also matters as I had prioritize
Haiti over many countries. Haiti is small country with less population
and area. But its kidnapping rate with respect to population and area
rank it higher than few nations.
Q: Which country has the highest kidnapping rate in the world?
As stats show that India is leading from
the front. There are two figures shown in the table which are somehow
confusing. 3,785 kidnappings were actually appeared in single year but
not accurately counting the children. 60 thousand children annually
kidnapped with professional and unprofessional kidnappers. And many
disappear or miss from homes, schools etc. But their records are not
maintained due to absence of human rights.
Children are the major kidnapping
victims for criminals in India. Figures are proving the whole story
about government rights and protection. There is no mean to discourage
Indians but they need to change their system to get proper rights.
Assam, state in India is most effected
by kidnappers. That single state records 3,812 cases to be registered in
2012. These are even more than a country figures. But you must need to
know the population and area of India. India is second most populated
country with 1.324 billion (2016) people. These high figures are too
much difficult to manage in less time. They need to make a proper system
based on equal rights. Then that system will gradually improve the
society.
