Personal Security Cont’d
WHAT IF IT HAPPENS TO YOU?
When faced with danger, trust yourself. Stay as calm as possible. Think rationally, without panic. Evaluate your options. There is no one right way to respond to a confrontation. Every situation is different. The response depends upon the circumstances - location of the attack, your personal resources, the characteristics of the assailant, and the presence of weapons. There are many strategies that are effective but you must rely on your own judgment to choose the best one:
- No resistance
- Stalling for time
- Negotiating
- Distraction and then fleeing
- Verbal assertiveness
- Screaming to attract attention
- Physical resistance
Always make a conscious effort to get an accurate description of your attacker(s) and call the police immediately.
