  38. Personal Safety Tips – See Handout • Home: control activity in your castle; plan a “safe room” • Street: control your own behaviors • Car: control maintenance, approach/exit, and operation of your vehicle • Public Transportation: control seating, entering, and exiting • Building: control and plan your usage Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  39. On the StreetThe Attack • Surveillance, casing, target selection The attacker is attracted to the target (person), and begins making judgments for vulnerability, and how easy it would be to intimidate or control the person. Physical contact is usually not involved in this stage. If the attacker and defender are acquaintances, this stage can last for months or years. Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  40. On the StreetThe Attack • Surveillance, casing, target selection DEFENSE prevention: by not allowing circumstances to exist avoidance: removing oneself from the situation, area deterrence: projected confidence, physical appearance, handling interactions Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  41. On the StreetThe Attack Triangle All of these sides of the triangle must exist for there to be an attack. If there is no opportunity, an attack cannot occur. It is difficult to prevent an attacker from being where you may go, but you always have a chance to control aspects of the criminal’s opportunities, and even subsequent situations afterwards. DEFENDER ATTACKER OPPORTUNITY Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  42. On the StreetThe Attack • Interview, testing and control The attacker approaches the person and establishes verbal or physical contact. It is the next step in deciding if the person will be a choice victim. It is also an attempt to intimidate and control the person, along with closing the distance between them to facilitate the attack. Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  43. On the StreetThe Attack • Interview, testing and control DEFENSE assertive: observe the person, no aggression. Issue statements, not questions reactionary gap: maintain adequate distance for response time obstacle: anything that bars the attacker from getting closer know your defense options: adequate defense posture, personal weapons maintain an exit: make sure you have an escape route Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  44. On the StreetThe Attack • Isolation, moment of attack, type of attack The attacker would like to remove you from witnesses or others who may help you. The attack may be quick and stealthy to prevent defense, or frontal to increase fear in hope that the defender will panic and “freeze.” Women need to consider that the perpetrator will attempt abduction. Defending men may induce the perpetrator to use a weapon . Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  45. On the StreetThe Attack • Isolation, moment of attack, type of attack DEFENSE compliance: various forms of compliance, remaining alert and observant self-defense: any means of defense, including weapons, other persons flight: getting away The ultimate goal is to get out of there and Survive Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  46. On the StreetThe Attack • Aftermath, reinforcing control, departure After a successful attack the perpetrator will leave or reinforce control for his own security or immediate desires/needs. In reinforcing control the perpetrator will decide if and how he will leave the person and crime scene. This decision depends upon whether the perpetrator is organized, disorganized and impulsive, or additionally chemically impaired concurrent with other mental problems or social factors involved. Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  47. On the StreetThe Attack • Aftermath, reinforcing control, departure DEFENSE seek safety: seek safety and assistance, conduct a wellness check en route notify police: consider notifying the police and finding counseling Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  48. On the StreetArmed Robbery • Cooperate with the robber. Follow the last given order that doesn’t risk your safety and resist arguing. • If you are going to grab your wallet from your back-pocket tell the robber what you are doing. • Concentrate on the robber’s description, mainly permanent and semi-permanent physical features instead of only clothing descriptions. Tulane University - Office of Environmental Health & Safety (OEHS)

  49. On the StreetArmed Robbery • It is extremely ill-advised to chase armed-robbers or simple-thieves! • Get to a safe place as soon as possible afterward, well-checking to verify that you are not injured. • Notify the police as soon as it is safe to do so.
