What would you do if a stranger knocks on your door while you are home with your children? How would you react if your car is suddenly rear-ended while driving alone at night? If a strange van pulled up beside you while you were loading your groceries into your trunk, what steps would you take to ensure your personal safety?

The news today is full of stories of crime: burglaries, home invasions, murder, rape. Whether violent crimes or crimes that just leave the victims feeling violated, as women how can we protect ourselves from falling victim to such crimes?
