Missing Statistics

Since our teaser trailer is about a young child being kidnapped/abducted by a stranger of some sort, we felt we needed to research more about the ‘missing people’ topic to include real facts and figures within our production this is when we came across a website called missing people,the link is below

http://www.missingpeople.org.uk/media-centre/papers/detail.asp?dsid=603

This included everything we needed to know, from the definition of ‘missing people’ to various groups of missing types such as adults and children, parental abduction to stranger abduction which we thought was very useful and gave us more of an insight on how big a of topic 'missing people' actually is worldwide.

Therefore our teaser trailer being about a stranger abducting a child this website included key facts and figures that we are thinking of using throughout our trailer such as;

'STRANGER ABDUCTIONS

Of all recorded abductions and attempted abductions, a very small proportion were instances where a child was actually abducted by a stranger. Importantly, children who are abducted will not necessarily be considered missing, or reported as missing.
A 2004 Home Office study (Newiss and Fairbrother, 2004: 1-6) found that, of the 798 police reports of child abduction and attempted child abduction in England and Wales that year:

• 56 per cent or all reports involved a stranger
• 47 per cent of all reports were ‘attempted child abductions by a stranger
• 9 per cent of all reports were successful child abductions by a stranger'

By using real facts and figures it will make our teaser trailer seem more realistic and shocking to our audience, which is what were trying to portray.
