Kidnapping may be accomplished by use of force or fear, or a vic tim may be enticed into confinement by fraud or deception. Kidnapping is distinguished from false imprisonment by the intentional movement of the vic tim to a different location.
Kidnapping may be done to demand a ransom in exchange for releasing the vi ctim, or for other illegal purposes. Kidnapping can be accompanied by bo dily inju ry, which in some jurisdictions elevates the crime to aggravated kidnapping.
