Kidnapping


Kidnapping is a criminal offense consisting of the unlawful taking and carrying away of a person by force or fraud and retention of a person against his will. The principal motives for kidnapping are to subject the victim to some form of involuntary bondage, to expose him for committing a criminal act against his principles , or to obtain ransom for his safe release. More recently, kidnapping for the purpose of blackmailing has become a tactic of political revolutionaries or terrorists seeking privilege from a government. In all countries it is considered a grave offense punishable by a long prison sentence or death.


Taking young women by force and selling them for purposes of concubinage or prostitution has also been characterised as a form of kidnapping. In current statutes this is often described as abduction and usually includes the taking or retention of a girl under a specific age for purposes of marriage. In some countries the exclusion of a husband from his wife by another woman who attracted him away is also considered as a criminal offense within the meaning of abduction. 😈

In the United States during the 1920s and 1930s kidnapping for money was very common. "The kidnapping in 1932 of the infant son of the internationally known American aviator Charles A. Lindbergh spurred legislation imposing the death penalty for transporting a kidnapped victim across a state line." Moreover, If the motive of the kidnapping  is to rape the victim and indulge him/her into sexual acts by force, would likely be charged with first-degree kidnapping, regardless of if the rape actually occurred or not. The same would hold true if the victims are physically harmed by the criminal or put them into a situation where the threat of being physically harm exist. 

Degrees of kidnapping
  • - First-degree kidnapping always involves physical harm to the victim, ​the threat of physical harm, or when the victim is a child.
  • - Second-degree kidnapping is often charged when the victim is unharmed and untouched  and left in a safe place.
  • - Parental kidnapping is usually dealt with under different sentencing guidelines and usually results in a smaller sentence than most kidnapping convictions. Sentencing for parental kidnapping is much less severe and generally averages around three years in prison, depending on the circumstances.

Karl Grossman

Karl Grossman is one of the most violent thugs. He killed alone more than 50 women in a period not exceeding 8 years. Grossman was born in December 1863 in Germany and worked as a butcher before the First World War. He participated in the World War as a soldier in the ranks of the Germans and he joined Hitler on his journey to power. Here we can say how Grossman began his journey to murder.   Grossman was an introvert and isolated most of the time. He did not spend the night except in the arms of a woman, but he never thought of marrying for the rest of his life. He justified this by his desire not to have children. He hated children to the point where he said that if he married and had children One day they will be massacred. In a way, he wanted to develop his work as a butcher, especially as the importation of cattle ceased during the First World War. He decided to practice his profession on another, more accessible and at the same time inexpensive animal, and  his mind  took him t
