CLASSIFICATION OF TYPES OF VICTIMS AND RECOMMENDATION THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OFFENDER AND VICTIM AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME BE TAKEN MORE INTO ACCOUNT.
Abstract
THE TYPES OF VICTIMS ARE THE HOSTAGES, THE PARTIES WHICH FULFILL THE POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL DEMANDS OF THE OFFENDERS, AND THE STATE WHOSE POPULATION SUFFERS A DIMINISHED SENSE OF SECURITY AND ORDER. THE AUTHOR ASSERTS THAT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CASES OF TAKING HOSTAGES HAS ACCUMULATED TO ENABLE THE POLICE TO MAKE RELIABLE GENERALIZATIONS AND PREDICTIONS ABOUT FUTURE CASES. --IN GERMAN
