Do you think it should be against the law for a family to pay ransom to a kidnapper? And do you think there would be fewer kidnappings if it were against the law for a family to pay ransom to a kidnapper, or do you think it wouldn't make much difference?

I don't really think a family with a kidnapped relative will pay much mind to any law.

I don't really think a family with a kidnapped relative will pay much mind to any law. Same. If I were a kidnapper, I'd see it as another incentive for the family to be quiet about it if they ever want to see their loved one again. *Shrug.* |

Don't police in the United States try to dissuade families from doing that?
Anyway, I think that it shouldn't be illegal... but should be discouraged as a negotiation tactic. I mean, if it was illegal, then in regions without a substantial police force, it'd be impossible to get kidnapped relatives back, I'd think.

Such a law would be a punishment to the victims of the kidnappings. Sounds like a pretty stupid idea to me...

As others have stated, you'd never be able to enforce that. And if you did, then you are just double punishing the victims.

I think its a brilliant idea, absolutely perfect... Oh, wait.... no I dont  Just like communism, in theory this would work. There would be no reason to kidnap anyone because there would be no money involed. However in practice, as the above said, it would increase crime, not deter it. |
