Seven Tips That Can Help Keep You Safe
Crime is now American's #1 concern. Many people are afraid to go out of the house alone, especially after dark, or they worry excessively about the safety of their children. Other are not concerned at all until something actually happens to them or a loved one.
According to Robert L. Siciliano, "THE LIFESAVER", author of The Safety Minute, here are seven tips that can help keep you safer.
Be Aware!!!
Constant awareness of your environment is your best defense. Always be alert, whether you are in your car, on the street, or at home.
Have a plan of action
Play a mental "what if" game. Where would you go and what would you do should a dangerous situation occur?
Trust your instincts
Research shows that most assault victims had a feeling something was wrong just before they were attacked.
Take notice
Be aware if an acquaintance is suddenly paying unwanted attention to you.
More than half of all assaults are committed by someone known to the victim.
Keep your senses free
Don't wear radio headphones, large hats, or other devices that make it difficult for you to sense an attacker. Be alert at all times.
Yell "No"
If someone accosts you, yell "No!" as loudly as you can. Don't yell "Help" or "Rape" because these words give the message: "I'm weak and helpless" a message that attackers feed upon. "No!" is powerful. In fact it has been proven that the word "No" is said to us hundreds of thousands of times in our lifetimes. When we hear "No" it actually causes a chemical reaction in our body.
Yell "I don't know this man"
Let bystanders know that you do not know the assailant so they don't mistake the attack for a domestic quarrel.
