The British were involved in kidnappings during various historical contexts, notably during the colonial era and conflicts such as the Irish War of Independence. In these instances, British forces often abducted individuals deemed threats to their control or those involved in insurgency movements. Additionally, kidnappings were used as a tactic to instill fear, gather intelligence, or leverage negotiations. The motivations behind these actions varied from political to military strategies aimed at maintaining authority.

The kidnapping of American sailors to work on British ships is commonly referred to as "impressment." This practice was particularly prevalent in the early 19th century, especially during the Napoleonic Wars, when the British Navy forcibly recruited sailors from American ships, leading to significant tension between the United States and Britain. Impressment was one of the contributing factors to the War of 1812.
