The three reasons women are easy targets for random acts of violence are:
1) Lack of Awareness - You MUST know where you are & what's going on around you.
2) Body Language - Keep your head up, swing your arms, stand straight up.
3) Wrong Place, Wrong Time - DON'T walk alone in an alley, or drive in a bad neighborhood at night.
Here are 5 self defense and safety tips that can prove useful if you become the victim of an act of violence:
1. The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
3. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
4.Mace spray is truly effective. So are a stun gun and a baton. But guess what: your mind can start changing and doing unimpressive things during an attack. You will need to practice using them. Moreover, keep these weapons in a space in your hand bag that you can easily reach.
5. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! Police only make 4 of 10 shots when they are in range of 3-9 feet. This is due to stress. The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
