Kidnapping - kidnapping

Japanese: 誘拐罪 - ゆうかいざい
Kidnapping - kidnapping
The crime of kidnapping a minor or an adult for the purpose of profit, obscenity, marriage, ransom, or trafficking in persons overseas (Penal Code, Articles 224-229). It is a heinous crime, not only because of the loss of freedom and safety of the kidnapped person, but also because of the immeasurable mental suffering it causes to the kidnap's guardians and close relatives. Kidnapping is accomplished by means of deception, seduction, and other methods. It is accomplished by separating the kidnapped person from their previous living environment and placing them under the effective control of oneself or a third party. The crime of kidnapping for ransom, stipulated in Article 225-2 of the Penal Code, was newly enacted in 1964 to deal with the rapid increase in similar crimes at the time. (→ Kidnapping)
