What Are ways to stay safe from being raped, robbed, or kidnapped?

George A

Walking:
Always use the buddy system- day or night
Remain aware of your surroundings at all times- don't daydream or let your thoughts wander

In your car:
Always keep your doors locked & windows rolled up
Have your keys ready to open your car once you get to it- don't be wasting time fumbling in your coat pocket or purse for your keys. If your car has a remote entry fob- use it instead of the key to unlock your car
Look at your car as you approach- is there anything different than when you left it?
Look inside your car for someone hiding inside before you enter it

In your home:
Keep your doors and windows locked- even on the second floor
Do not open your door to strangers
If the person claims to be with a utility company- don't be afraid to ask for a picture ID
Use outside lighting at night to hinder someone from hiding next to your home
Don't have bushy hedges next to your home that are tall enough for a person to hide behind

There are numerous other things you can do from learning simple self defense techniques to getting martial arts training, sign up for seminars that pop up from time to time (usually sponsored by nonprofit organizations like the United Way, domestic abuse centers, etc) that teach you how not to become a victim, starting a neighborhood watch in your community with other neighbors if you don't have one............and more...........your ability is only limited by you.

It All Matters.~â˜ºâ™¥

Always let someone know where you are going.
When alone, stay in the open.
Always look under a car before getting in.
Always look around before getting in.
Always park in the open. Never next to a wall where you will be pinned in.
Never go out at night alone.
Never talk to strangers when alone.
Carry pepper spray and know how to use it.
Always carry a cell phone. (With GPS.)
Always avoid drunks.
Always avoid groups of another race if you are a lone. (I am not a racist, I am merely being practical.) Groups are more likely to to try and intimidate you.
If the hair stands up on the back of your neck, get the hell out of there.

Keep pepper spray on you, dont ever go out alone, especially at night. If you are alone try to go to place where there are large groups of people. If you notice someone stalking you then run and get help. Keep a phone on you at all times.

Walk fast and keep your head up. That shows confidence. Be aware of what's around you. Know if you're being followed. If you see someone that looks suspicious, get help or call 911. Get in your car ASAP, lock the doors, and drive off. You're safe once your car is moving. And also never leave your doors unlocked. You wouldn't want someone to be hiding in your back seat.

Take some sort of martial arts training.
bulk up in the gym.
be tough, look tough, walk tough.
On your key ring, attach a large strap/chain, and carry your keys at the end of the long strap.
Read up a bit on ninja chain weapons such as Kusari-Gama, Manriki, and this may give you some idea of how your keyring with a strap may be handled as a weapon.

don't stay outside late without others, carry your cell fully charged everywhere, mainly just don't go around without people...u kno..like your friends or family

Texas Underdog

Get a big guard dog and take him everywhere you go.
Avoid places where you are more likely to be raped, robbed, or kidnapped. If you have to go to places like that, don't go alone.

And NEVER get into a vehicle with an attacker - scream - kick - and RUN (even if they threaten to shoot you - and if they do shoot at you chances are they will miss a moving target) Your odds of safety go down a LOT if they get you into a vehicle.
