People are held hostage primarily for financial gain, political leverage, or to exert power and control. In criminal cases, kidnappers may demand ransom from victims' families or organizations. In political contexts, hostages may be taken to negotiate for the release of prisoners or to draw attention to specific causes. Additionally, hostage situations can arise from personal motives, such as revenge or emotional distress.
