Internet drives 30 per cent rise in UK kidnappings - Crime, UK - The Independent: "Kidnapping for ransom or to settle vendettas is a 'growth area' for criminals following new developments in communications such as Twitter and social networking sites. The ease of foreign travel and the capacity for large amounts of money to change hands on-line has also helped fuel a 30 per cent rise in kidnappings since 1997.
More than 2,000 kidnappings took place in the UK in 2008/09, according to the British Crime Survey."
