Chapters

On the radar

The case of Tobias Kurzmann shows which avoidable behaviors increase the risk of kidnapping.

Initial abduction

The moment of the initial abduction poses the greatest risk to the abductee. This section of the course explains how you can significantly increase the likelihood of survival.

Physical and psychological dangers

Not all kidnapping cases involve the excessive use of force. The greatest dangers are described in this chapter.

Staying fit and mentally strong

The duration of a kidnapping is usually unpredictable. This section of the course shows how to maintain mental health and physical resilience over time.

Strategies for survival

A kidnapping is always an exceptional situation. At this point, the most important strategies for persevering until release are shown.

Interaction with the captors

A personal relationship with the kidnappers increases the chances of survival. In this part of the course, instructions follow on how to gradually intensify contact.

Critical phase: release

Like takeoff and landing on a flight, the first and last stages of a kidnapping are particularly risky. This chapter shows how to survive the last stretch unharmed.
