Ways to increase your personal security
If you’re worried about becoming the victim of a crime, there are lots of ways you can enhance your personal security. Consider taking a course in basic self-defense. Many of these courses are offered by community centers and other organizations, often at no cost to you. Consider buying a self-defense product such as mace, a stun gun, a taser, or a personal alarm. Mace is perfectly legal in most states, and when sprayed in an attacker’s face can incapacitate them, giving you time to run away and start yelling for help. Stun guns and tasers are more regulated, so check your local laws before purchasing either of these devices.
If tasers or stun guns are allowed in your locatility, they can be used to stop an attacker in his tracks. You might also consider carrying a personal alarm. These are small devices that, when triggered, give off an ear-piercing (120+ dB) alarm to scare your attacker away and to alert others to your situation. Finally, become more aware of your surroundings - always keep an eye out for anyhthing unusual going on around you and be prepared to run and start screaming if you feel threatened.
