Street Crime is referred to as the Crime that happens on the Street of any Community.
Naturally, the “Street” is considered as “No Man’s” land, “Every man for himself”. It’s best if you are equipped with information on how to escape such situations unhurt. And better, if you have Personal Security Alarm like a Screamer or Pepper Spray.
Street Crime can happen anywhere – even on one of the quietest blocks in town. This is to tell you that no one is immune to one form of attack or the other, how you handle the situation is up to you. One fact is that you can be attacked where or when you least expect. It’s just best if you do not have the “Startle factor”.
The “Startle Factor”- this is when an individual is lost in thought and suddenly when chaos erupts, he is expected to run or do something – he freezes. This is usually the case when you are caught unawares and turns out you are in the line of fire and you feel confused.
One of such dangerous situation is when a street crime suddenly happens, you are left vulnerable. All you have at that moment is your wit. You need to quickly think on your two feet and strategize and avoid being attacked.
Here are however, some tricks to get you along before help comes:
- Posturing: Present yourself as a tough target. If that doesn’t work,
- Fleeing: The most obvious choice might not be possible. If not,
- Outsmarting: By talking your way out and maneuvering toward escape. If that doesn’t work,
- Surrendering: and hoping for a predator’s mercy to let you live; or preferably as a trick leading to a sudden escape,perhaps aided by:
- Fighting: Like a mad dog for your escape. Stun & run.
The panicky chaos of a sudden threat forces you to choose an option in a split-second. Still, understanding your options now will help your Intuition choose an option then.
