Abducted typically refers to the act of forcefully taking someone away without their consent, often for a specific purpose, while kidnapped involves the unlawful seizure and detention of someone, usually for ransom or other demands. Abduction can be for various reasons beyond ransom, such as coercion, whereas kidnapping often has a direct motive to extract something in return for the victim's release.
