The US, by a wide margin, is the world leader in kidnapping and the kidnappers are becoming more predatory and beginning to demand higher ransoms as the economic environment in the US continues to decline.

In 2008 alone, 182,422 individuals, were either accosted by armed criminals and often-times attacked in their own houses, taken and then put in cages throughout the US.  While 16,965 of them may have deserved to be kidnapped, 165,457 of them, or 90.7%, had done anything violent to anybody.

The following chart shows the total amount kidnapped per country, showing the US is by far the largest of any country on Earth.  The US has 5% of the population of the world but does 22% of the kidnapping.

The rise in kidnappings in the US has been dramatic and has become epidemic as can be seen here:

AMERICAN APARTHEID

The kidnappers target ethnic minorities by a wide margin.  White males have been getting kidnapped at a rate of 736 per 100,000.  Latinos at 1,862 per 100,000.  And, black males at 4,789 per 100,000.  This can be best seen via the following chart:

In South Africa under apartheid, in 1993, black males were kidnapped at a rate of 851 per 100,000.  In the US, black males are kidnapped at a rate of 4,789 per 100,000.  The US apartheid system has more than a 500% higher kidnapping rate of blacks than the South African apartheid.
