1992 infant kidnappings: incidents down but problems remain.
Infant kidnapping from hospitals remains a low incidence, high visibility crime, and 1992, so far, seems to bear this out. By the end of August, only two such kidnappings have been reported compared to 11 for all of 1991, and some ascribe this to the considerable expense and effort many hospitals have gone to to beef up security in their maternity areas.
