<h3>What We Discuss with Anja Shortland:</h3>
<ul>
<li>How many people are kidnapped every year for ransom, and how many actually return from the ordeal alive?</li>
<li>What incentives do kidnappers have to treat hostages nonviolently and bargain for their release in good faith?</li>
<li>How do insurers keep vulnerable clients from letting down their guard once a policy has been obtained?</li>
<li>The protection theory that explains how crime organizations (e.g., the mafia) effectively stabilize the kidnap-for-ransom industry.</li>
<li>Why offering a higher ransom than demanded is the worst strategy for ensuring a hostage's safe release.</li>
<li>And much more...</li>
</ul>
