What To Do If You Are Attacked
These tips are designed
to help you protect yourself on campus, in town, at your home, or while you
travel. These are preventative tips and are designed to instruct you in
crime prevention tactics.
1.
Be
realistic about your ability to protect yourself.
2.
Your
instinct may be to scream, go ahead! It may startle your attacker and
give you an opportunity to run away.
3.
Kick
off your shoes if you have time and can't run in them.
4.
Don't
take time to look back; just get away.
5.
If
your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense. (translation: just lay down and enjoy, if you can).
6.
Tell
your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.
7.
Vomiting
or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.
8.
Yelling,
hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!
9.
Understand
that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.
10. Remember,
every emergency situation is different. Only you can decide which action
is most appropriate.
