Sting operations a the point of collection of ransom.
Kidnappers in reality are very vulnerable, as they must physically collect the ransom, or have it paid into an account. Sting operations by the security forces should routinely target and arrest kidnappers at the point of collection of ransom. An effective exploitation of this important link that targets kidnappers at the point of collection of ransom will remove a very important incentive and make kidnapping impossible.
