There are three distinct types of kidnapping: kidnapping by a relative of the victim or "family kidnapping" (49 percent), kidnapping by an acquaintance of the victim or "acquaintance kidnapping" (27 percent), and kidnapping by a stranger to the victim or "stranger kidnapping" (24 percent).
85% to 90% of the 876,213 persons reported missing to America’s law enforcement agencies in 2000 were people under the age of 18.
152,265 of the people reported missing in 2000 were categorized as either endangered or involuntary.
The number of missing persons reported to law enforcement has increased from 154, 341 in 1982 to 876,213 in 2000. That is an increase of 468%.
Kidnapping makes up less than 2 percent of all violent crimes against juveniles reported to police.
