Question
On your website you mention that you should never allow yourself to be taken to a secondary location. In what circumstances besides rape would a criminal be inclined to do so?
Thanks
A common one is in robberies. The criminal promises to lock everyone in a room so he can 'get away' without them calling the cops. This is kidnapping and in the US is second only to murder when it comes to severity of punishment. While it can be that the criminal keeps his word, it is not uncommon for the people -- who believed that complying would save them -- to be executed.
Also common is when all along the intent is to murder.
The 'promise' is that if you comply you will be safe. And when faced with a faint ray of hope for survival, many people will take this route. When in fact, this lie is a labor saver for the killer.

I've taught police and military both internationally and within the US. I've lectured at universities, academies and done countless TV, radio, newspaper and magazine interviews.
