First it argues that kidnapping, including the threat of kidnapping, reflects a breakdown in the mechanisms of social control in society. This volume also discusses the ways governments and para-military and terrorist groups employ kidnappings as part of their foreign and domestic policy. This analysis evaluates why and under what conditions governments, para-military and terrorist groups decide to abduct individuals and groups. It emphasizes how individuals, groups, and governments employ abductions to achieve their psychological, social, religious, and political objectives. This analysis also examines the ways in which cultural traditions in different societies emerge to foster behaviors such as bride abductions. Moreover, this book addresses the extent to which social change modifies these cultural patterns. Suitable for students and researchers, mental health practitioners, and law enforcement, this volume is a unique analysis of our contemporary understanding of kidnapping and violence, and the social, psychological, political, and cultural motivations for such an act.Experiential researchClinical psychologyPsychology Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20000Clinical Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12005Experiential research.Clinical psychology.Psychology Research.Clinical Psychology.364.154Morewitz Stephenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1050671BOOK9910349354703321Kidnapping and Violence2480651UNINA
