Places where people are kidnapped

Kidnapping is a global crime, which is not concentrated in a particular region. The countries with the highest rates of kidnap are those with weak security infrastructures, high levels of impunity and economic disparity, such as Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria, and those experiencing prolonged conflicts, such as Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan. The most highly developed countries with stable governments have the lowest levels of kidnapping.
