Abduction

Abduction refers to the act of taking someone away against their will, often by force or deception. Abduction can be committed for various reasons, such as for ransom, for political purposes, as part of a criminal enterprise, or as a means of coercion or control. Abduction can also refer to the act of taking a child away from their legal guardian without consent, which is commonly known as child abduction or kidnapping. Abduction is considered a serious crime and is punishable under criminal law in most countries. In addition to the legal consequences, abduction can have significant emotional and psychological effects on the victim and their families. Efforts to prevent and respond to abduction often involve law enforcement, international cooperation, and community awareness campaigns.
