Carjacking is a form of hijacking, where the crime is of stealing a motor
vehicle and so also armed assault when the vehicle is occupied. Historically,
such as in the rash of semi-trailer truck hijackings during the 1960s, the general
term hijacking (be) used for that type of vehicle abduction, which (do) not
often include kidnapping of the driver, and (concentrate) on the theft of the
load, rather than the vehicle itself. During the later day car theft crime, typically,
the carjacker is armed, and the driver is forced out of the car with the threat
of bodily injury. In other rarer cases, the driver is kidnapped under the assault
by a weapon and is retained as a passenger under duress, or made to drive his
or her abductor. Women are particularly victimized in this latter method. The
News first (use) the term in an August 28, 1991 report on the murder to Ruth
Wahl, a 22-year-old Detroit drugstore cashier who (be) killed when she wouldn’t
surrender her Suzuki Sidekick, and in an investigative report examining the
rash of what police (call) at the time “robbery armed unlawful driving away an
automobile”, plaguing Detroit.
