Wednesday, December 10 @ 05:48:05 EST Approved by naselfdefense (82 reads) | One of our experts submitted this article for you to read "
One minute you're getting in your car to go to work, and the next you're bound and gagged in the back of a speeding van. Depending on where you work, this might be a welcome change, but for most people, being kidnapped or held hostage is a terrifying experience. And it happens that fast.
Sometimes so fast that you can't even attempt to escape your abductor(s). Fortunately, most kidnapping victims are released unharmed. Make no mistake, though: any abduction can turn deadly, and whether the victim survives depends largely on decisions he or she makes while in captivity..."

Sunday, March 30 @ 07:38:21 EDT Approved by naselfdefense (127 reads) | One of our experts submitted this article for you to read "
Thieves can use even the most mundane of personal details to help them "verify" that they're someone they aren't, and one of the most common ways of obtaining personal details is "bin-raiding" (digging through your garbage cans).
This is surprisingly common in affluent areas and is spreading out of towns to the countryside; with 75% of local authorities now admitting it happens regularly in their area."

Crime Prevention: Ten Tips for Safer Emails

It seems that regular postal mail is quickly being replaced with electronic mail (email)
Well, maybe not replaced, but it certainly is giving the old post office some serious competition. After all... why spend the money on a stamp and envelope, then mail the letter out, then wait for it to be delivered, when you can email someone in an instant... practically for free.
Along with the convenience of email, come a few dangers as well...

ATM cash machines have been incorporated in our way of life. They offer a real convenience to those on the run but at the same time offer an element of risk. Using an ATM machine safely requires awareness and a little planning. Just because an ATM machine is open and available 24-hours a day doesn't mean it is safe to use it."

THE AMBER ALERT PROGRAM
On January 13, 1996, 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, when a neighbor heard her scream. The neighbor saw a man pull Amber off her bike, throw her into the front seat of his pickup truck, and drive away at a high rate of speed. The neighbor called police and provided a description of the suspect and his vehicle. Arlington Police and the FBI searched for the suspect and vehicle.
Local radio and television stations covered the story in their regular newscasts. Four days later Amber’s body was found in a drainage ditch four miles away. Her kidnapping and murder still remain unsolved.
Out of this tragedy, came the birth of the AMBER ALERT. The Amber Alert was designed to help prevent this type of vicious, criminal act from ever happening again, by assisting in the safe and speedy recovery of abducted children...

Wednesday, January 23 @ 06:36:12 EST Approved by naselfdefense (149 reads) | sarubin submitted this article for you to read "
Do as much as you can to avoid a confrontation - "anticipation and avoidance" are the key words. If you get caught up in a situation, try to talk to an aggressor without provoking them. Practice relaxation, as appearing fearful or stressed can actually provoke an attack. Remember that body language is important in aggressive situations, so maintain a comfortable distance between you and the aggressor."

The con artist's philosophy is "the gullible were put on this earth to be gulled."
In the past, con artists were usually referred to as con men. This is no longer the case as more and more women have become involved in con games and numerous variations of con games.
Before we proceed with some tips on "how not to get conned" you should always remember that a con artist can be a male or a female. In addition, many times the con artist will work with a child who will assist them in accomplishing their goal. That goal is to GET YOUR MONEY.

Crime Prevention: BURGLAR PREVENTION
Thursday, November 15 @ 09:48:23 EST Approved by naselfdefense (272 reads) | One of our experts submitted this article for you to read "
What does a BURGLAR like?
Experience has shown us that burglars like many things (mostly other people's things), but most thieves prefer two conditions:
• An invitation, and
• A fast, easy, undetected entry and exit
Burglary invitations aren't stuffed into envelopes like birthday party invites; nor do we hang signs on our doors that say- "BURGLARS WELCOME" - the way we attach balloons to the mailbox. However, invitations are sent and signs are posted which are equally inviting to a burglar... "
