Bravo for WPSN. It is a tragic global fact that women are selected as potential targets for numerous crimes everywhere. I worked with my Neighborood Watch Community supporting the Law Enforcement here in Malaysia and also assist in sharing personal safety with women, campuses, plus female officers at the police college locally. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Be aware of who is watching you come and go from your home. There are electronic recording devices small enough to hide from sight. My 14 year old son and I, who share a bathroom, were recorded with a small device.

Resistance works because most attackers are lazy cowards. This is great information for preventing attacks.

This is all good but what happens when the rapist has got you alone...this is more about how to avoid strangers.

God will Bless this ministry and women around the world will be safer and more educated.

research studies mostly show that only about 2% of rapists are the sociopathic predators that intend to torture/kill victims and are excited by victim' struggles. the rest are looking for a victim who will enhance his sense of power by fear and submission.

fighting back may increase risk of more serious harm with that minority of sociopathic type of predator......but given that they are a very small percentage of rapists, and with the "average" rapist being driven off in 70% (or more) of the cases when the victim fights back.....simple math is that it is far better to fight back....in spite of the common "wisdom" that to fight back increases the risk of "angering" the rapist and making him more likely to kill or seriously injure/torture his victim.

the average rapist commits 12 forcible rapes before being caught....and the on average, serves 2 years in prison, and in 60+% of cases is subsequently re-arrested on another rape. how much misery would be avoided if the first victim disabled her attacker?
(when i get my books and papers unpacked in the next month or so, i will be able to quote my sources)
