Er det noen som er flink på å google og som har litt tid til overs?

Det jeg lurer på er følgende:

Er risikoen for kidnapping av barn så mye større i USA enn i Norge (eller annet sivilisert land i Europa)? Det jeg fremst er interessert i er kidnapping av barn som er utført av annen enn familiemedlem.

Frykten for kidnapping av barn er stor i USA og jeg lurer på om den frykten er reell sammenlignet med andre land.

Her kan ikke barn være ute alene, de kjøres overalt. Man ser nesten ikke barn ute uten foreldre.

Jeg har lurt på det samme. Her er dog unger mer ute alene enn jeg trodde før vi flyttet hit, de er feks helt vanlig for selv unger på barnetrinnet å gå/sykle til skolen selv. Og vil ser også unger som leker ute alene, men i mye mindre grad enn hjemme i Norge.

Selv har jeg en sånn Peofile-i-nabolaget app på mobilen min (alle sexforbrytere registreres jo her) og jeg kan jo forstå at man i enklete nabolag er skeptisk til å slippe ungene ut av syne....

Her står det hvertfall litt om kidnapping i USA, konklusjonen var vel at barn hadde dobbelt så stor sjanse for å bli truffet av lynnedslag enn å bli kidnappet av noen de ikke kjenner: message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=42287

Ellers liker jeg denne bloggen godt, der står det ofte litt om sånt: freerangekids.wordpress.com/

• Every 40 seconds in the United States, a child becomes missing or is abducted.
• In 2001, 840,279 people (adults and children) were reported missing to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The FBI estimates that 85 to 90 percent of those (roughly 750,000 people or 2,000 per day) reported missing were children. The vast majority of these cases are resolved within hours.
• Based on the identity of the perpetrator, 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).
• Family kidnapping is committed primarily by parents, involves a larger percentage of female perpetrators (43 percent) than other types of kidnapping offenses, occurs more frequently to children under 6, equally victimizes juveniles of both sexes, and most often originates in the home.
• Acquaintance kidnapping involves a comparatively high percentage of juvenile perpetrators, has the largest percentage of female and teenage victims, is more often associated with other crimes (especially sexual and physical assault), occurs at homes and residences, and has the highest percentage of injured victims.
• Stranger kidnapping victimizes more females than males, occurs primarily at outdoor locations, victimizes both teenagers and school-age children, is associated with sexual assaults in the case of girl victims and robberies in the case of boy victims (although not exclusively so), and is the type of kidnapping most likely to involve the use of a firearm.
• Only about one child out of each 10,000 missing children reported to the local police is not found alive. However, about 20 percent of the children reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in nonfamily abductions are not found alive.
• In 80 percent of abductions by strangers, the first contact between the child and the abductor occurs within a quarter mile of the child's home.
• Most potential abductors grab their victims on the street or try to lure them into their vehicles.
• About 74 percent of the victims of nonfamily child abduction are girls.
• Acting quickly is critical. Seventy-four percent of abducted children who are ultimately murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction.
• One in five children 10 to 17 years old receive unwanted sexual solicitations online.
• In a 1998 study of parents' worries by pediatricians at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, nearly three-quarters of parents said they feared their children might be abducted. One-third of parents said this was a frequent worry -- a degree of fear greater than that held for any other concern, including car accidents, sports injuries, or drug addiction.

Wikipedia har en hel del tall om kidnapping i USA.

...jeg hadde nok forøvrig også blitt litt paranoid i forhold til barneforsvinninger om jeg ble møtt med femti bilde-posters av savnede barn hver gang jeg handlet dagligvarer. :walmarted:

Leke ute alene ser man ikke her, det er for sørgelig, syns jeg.

Takk for linker, Kristine og dere andre! De skal sjekkes!

Har prøvd å lete litt men finner svært lite som går på det. Ofte sitter de med statistikker på den lokale politistasjonen (gjorde i hvert fall det den gang jeg bodde der borte). Hvis du treffer den rette får du mange timers personlig analyse.... :-)
