Definitions of "ransom", "kidnap" and "extortion"

The request was refused by Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,

I would be grateful if you could provide me with information on how the government individually defines ransom, kidnap and extortion. This is for an essay I am writing at university which is due in on Tuesday 14th so I would be grateful for a speedy reply!

Yours faithfully,

Danielle Cope

Foreign and Commonwealth Office
