How do kidnappers operate?
<|assistant|>
Kidnappers often work in groups and use force, fraud, or coercion to abduct their victims. Once a victim is abducted, the perpetrators will usually demand a ransom from the victim's family or employer in order to free them. In some cases, kidnappers have held their victims hostage for months or years, using threats and violence to maximize the payment they receive from the victims' relatives.
