| | Kidnapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is also legal kidnapping for the police officers or agents of one state to capture fugitives in another state and bring them back for trial. | | | In criminal law, kidnapping is the taking away or asportation of a person against the person's will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority. | | | It would be difficult to kidnap without also committing false imprisonment which is the common law offense of intentionally or recklessly detaining the victim. |

| | Under common law kidnapping was only a misdemeanor, but in most states of the United States it is now punishable by death or life imprisonment if there are no extenuating circumstances. | | | Kidnapping may be done for ransom or for political or other purposes. | | | It was common as a method for procuring slaves, and it has also been employed by brigands and revolutionaries to obtain money through ransom or to hold hostages whose safe release was dependent on the freeing of political prisoners. |

| | Legal Handbook On Kidnapping |
| | The Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act mandates that parental kidnapping be addressed through the Fugitive Felon Act, Title 18, USC, Section 1073, which in turn is a stepping stone in the process of seeking a UFAP warrant. | | | If you think that your spouse will not kidnap your child if he or she gets notice of the court hearing and there is no emergency or fear, then you do not have to seek an ex parte court order. | | | If a potential kidnapper reads this publication, it is hoped he or she understands that the law is moving toward the speedy return of kidnapped children and is forcing the kidnapper to pay for the expenses of the other side, including attorney's fees. |

| | Kidnapping is an aggravated form of false imprisonment. | | | It doesn't matter which parent has legal custody; if a parent conceals his or her child with the intent of depriving the other parent of custody or visitation rights, he or she can be prosecuted for a crime. | | | A parent who takes a child under these circumstances must file a request for custody within a reasonable time in the jurisdiction where the child had been living, explaining the basis for the parent's fear that the child would be harmed. |
