Kidnapping and carjacking have become two of the most notorious crimes in the modern World. Indeed only last week, a young University lady was carjacked and later found dead in Kodera forest while a journalist who was with her escaped by jumping off the moving vehicle.
A 2008 paper by the Australian Institute of Criminology conceptualized carjackings as falling into four types based on method and motive: organized and instrumental, organized and acquisitive, opportunistic and instrumental, and opportunistic and acquisitive. An example of an organized and instrumental carjacking is a planned carjacking with a weapon to use the vehicle for ram an ATM to steal cash.
An example of an organized and acquisitive carjacking is a planned carjacking to sell the vehicle in a known market. An example of an opportunistic and instrumental carjacking is a carjacking without a weapon to sell “vehicle/parts with no market in mind.” An example of an opportunistic and acquisitive carjacking is a carjacking without a weapon to joyride.
In South Africa however, a man who was the victim of a failed carjacking attack showed the whole World how to deal with the crime and it’s perpetrators. Check out the video below.
