From Awareness To Avoidance

SEMINAR TOPICS

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CRIME PREVENTION

As a civilian we never think a crime will happen to us, it always seems to be the other person. Then after the events, we seem to find a little criticism against the victim, until one day it happens to us or a loved one. While unfortunate things do happen unexpectedly, it is important to be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed for personal safety and crime prevention. Having a personal safety strategy in place and knowing the, immediate reactions, techniques and tactics you can use to avoid becoming a potential victim can help you enjoy a safer life. “Crimes of Opportunity” are crimes committed without planning or forethought. When criminals realize they have a chance to commit a crime, they seize the opportunity. Don’t be their easy target. We can all pinpoint times where we’ve made ourselves an easy target – timing and schedules, not looking around before we leave a venue or get into out vehicle, whether it was keeping our heads buried in our phones, parking in a dimly lit area at night, or leaving for a walk or run without our awareness head on. . But there are many more, less obvious situations that make us vulnerable as well.
