DEFINITION: Total kidnappings for years 1992-1999. The statistics are based on those cases about which Hiscox has obtained reasonably reliable information and do not purport to represent the full extent of the problem. Please bear in mind that only a tiny fraction [10% ?] of all kidnapping cases are reported to authorities for fear that it will trigger further kidnappings.

COMMENTARY     

Andrew Charnley
14th August 2005 		Indeed - what about Trinindad with 220th murder on Friday 12 August reported in local media. Road accidents are high for the asphelt supplier of 30% of world tarmac roads but 116 road death recorded last week in media. How's Tobago doing with murder rates up for a holiday island..?

14th August 2005 		Trindad & Tobago have had 37 kinappings reported in the media during 2005 so far (Aug 12th 2005). Their media reported that 100,000 Trinis live in Florida, some to continue running their businesses remotely from the US. The PM of T & T says he does not care they left because they do not feel safe. He needs to be taken to task by the UN whom they take develoment funds from!
Rimma GElenava (Georgia, Tbilisi)
