  4. Part 1 - Framework • Kidnapping as social protest • Kidnapping as a tool against social protest. • Kidnappers rely very strongly on others. • But kidnappers also serve a purpose for others, who rely strongly on them. • Kidnapping can be a community activity. • Kidnappers emerge when pools of armed men become ‘orphaned’ and unemployed. • Myth-making around kidnapping happens, and distorts understanding. • Kidnap groups are not conventional organisations; they are better described as dark networks.
