Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Several highly publicized child abduction murders have created a wave of public panic over the safety of America’s children. Child abduction murders have influenced our laws and formed the rationale for many policies and procedures in social services and law enforcement. Even though the incidences of these occurrences are rare, their impact has a disproportionately large influence on society. The public outcry over concern for the safety of America’s children resulted in inflated and unsubstantiated numbers of missing children. To compound the tragedy, child abduction murders are incredibly difficult to solve and deeply impact the law enforcement officials involved in the investigation. The historical background of child abduction murders, the social implications of these crimes, their impact on public policy, and their impact on investigators are all important factors in understanding the impact of the victimization of child abduction murders. This paper will review the historical impact of child abduction murders on American laws and public policy and other social implications of the victimization of children by child abduction murderers as well as present empirical evidence on the incidence of child abduction murders.
