The Phenomenon Of Child Abduction In Algerian Society
Authors : Ali Ben Yahia Salima .
Abstract
Abstract: This study examines child abduction as a newly emergent criminal phenomenon that has spread rapidly in Algerian society. The problem rarely stops at the act of abduction itself; it often escalates to physical assault and, in many cases, ends with the killing of the victim to conceal the crime. Offenders’ motives vary: material incentives such as ransom demands or trafficking in children or their organs, motives linked to sorcery or family disputes, and purely criminal motives such as sexual assault. The phenomenon has become a source of public anxiety and a focus of cross-disciplinary scholarly interest, which necessitates an in-depth analysis of its causes and contributing factors in order to develop effective responses. The study employs a descriptive method to analyze the dimensions of the phenomenon, alongside an analytical-inductive approach to infer causes and consequences and to propose prevention and intervention mechanisms.
