MANAGEMENT OF
KIDNAPPING INCIDENT

 RATIONALE
Prior to the twentieth century kidnapping was a crime seldom committed.
But with the advent of automobiles and modern highways kidnappers were
afforded the means by which kidnapping could be swiftly and therefore effectively
executed and it became more common. The professional criminals of the
prohibition Era used kidnapping for enforcing the code of the underworld, and
with this experience and example, they turned to the extortion of large sums of
money from law-abiding citizens. The late 1920’s and early 1930’s witnessed a
wave of kidnapping, in many cases the work of well-organized Gangs. This
menace culminated in the lindbegh tragedy, and led congress and the state
legislatures to make sweeping changes in the kidnapping laws the scope of the
laws was extended, transportation of a kidnapped victim across state line was
made federal offense and the penalties which could be imposed were greatly
increased.

These changes have made kidnapping a crime which, although it

embraces a wide and ill-defined range of behaviour, is nonetheless among the
most severely punished offenses. The changes were not planned systematically;
they were a response to outraged emotions. Unfortunately, too they have not
subsequently been analysed, and analysis is now long overdue.
 RELATED LITERATURE
Relatively unknown in this country before 1874, when the first ransom
kidnapping as we know it took place, the incidence of the crime has since
burgeoned to a recorded number of some 1,700 cases. In 1874, the act con-
stituted a crime only in a handful of jurisdictions, and in those states the maximum
penalty was seven years imprisonment. Subsequent laws, and the making of the
act a federal capital crime in the 1930s when the Lindbergh kidnapping outraged
public sentiment, evolved slowly, the author of this unusually interesting work
shows.

In this first attempt to bring together and analyze all known sociological
and historical information on this important segment of American crime and crime
control, Ernest K. Alix dispels the myth of the importance of the Lindbergh case in
changing attitudes and establishing social values. Not even the evolving laws, Alix
contends, were the direct reflection of the will of the majority. Second, the entire
subject has been prone to error and ideological misinterpretation which only a
close examination of the facts and a careful interpretation of the results can
overcome.

The importance of the work lies in its integrated treatment of crime and
law. It will be invaluable to students and professionals in allied fields.
 INTRODUCTION
For the past years, the country has been faced with various crisis incidents that
tested the resilience and challenged the mettle of the law enforcement sector particularly
the Philippine National Police. In its effort to stay true to its mandate of serving and
protecting the community, the PNP continues to create measure that would ensure the
safety and security of every citizen most especially if lives are at stake.

The PNP Critical Incident Management Action Flowcharts and Checklist

Handbook was created as a comprehensive guide for commanders and police personnel at
the lower levels of command in handling various crisis situations.

Designed to provide the necessary steps in the management of crisis incidents, it

encompasses various scenarios including disaster, civil disturbance, kidnapping, hostage-
taking, major road incidents, and destabilization, among others.

Resource persons in their respective fields of expertise were consulted and have
shared their invaluable insights in the subjects. These checklist and action flowcharts are an
amalgam of principles, applications, and even personal experience by those involved in the
process. Though each incident calls for a different approach, the prevailing notions are
specified in this compilation.
