PRECAUTIONS:
· Avoid walking or jogging alone and never walk or jog alone after dark.
Impossible. I have an evening class that ends when it is dark outside. I have to walk across the campus at night to my dorm.
· Always choose a well-lit path and avoid dark or vacant areas.
Most areas have lights but some don't.
· Carry a whistle to summon help.
I carry a 3.25" folding blade along with my fists. I'm my own help.
· Be alert to your surroundings. If you suspect you are being followed,
run in a different direction; go to the other side of the street and yell
or whistle for help; or head quickly to a lighted area, a group of people,
or an Emergency Telephone.
I'm always aware of my surroundings. If someone is walking behind me I either walk further to one side or the other so I can see them in my periferial vision...or I stop and pretend I'm getting a phone call, and stop and let them pass in front of me. And those "emergency telephones" are a joke. It will just let the campus police know where the body is by the time they can respond.
· If you are confronted by a thief, give them what they want and don't
chase them as they leave. Report suspicious persons or activity
immediately to the Police.
No. If I give them what they want, they'll just keep doing it. Besides what they want, is MINE, NOT THEIRS. Even if you give them what they "want" odds are they're still not done with you yet...
