PRINCIPLES of CRIME PREVENTION & PERSONAL SAFETY
We never think a crime can happen to us until it does. While sometimes unfortunate things do happen unexpectedly, it is important to be equipped with the knowledge and skills for personal safety and crime prevention. Having a personal safety strategy in place and knowing the techniques and tactics you can use to avoid becoming an easy victim can help you live smarter and be safer.
A property crime happens every 3.9 seconds, a robbery every 1.6 seconds, and a burglary every 20 seconds in the USA alone!
Don't be an easy target. We can all pinpoint times where we've made ourselves an easy target — whether it was keeping our heads buried in our phones, parking in a dimly lit area at night, or leaving our houses or cars unlocked. But there are many more, less obvious situations that make us vulnerable as well. Refuse To Be A Victim® discusses these situations and how to avoid them.
