Even if you live in a neighborhood you've always considered to be relatively safe, it's impossible to escape news stories of rising violence among youths who have gotten involved with street gangs. The truth is, gang violence has grown into a threat that cannot be ignored. No matter where you live in the country, violence from gangs has the potential to affect your everyday life and your personal security.
Across the country, countless communities are dealing with gang-related violence and crime. Gangs are groups of adolescents and young adults who stake out an area (known as their 'turf') where they will make money through drug sales and other illegal means.
A gang will often try to recruit younger members from the local schools. If you have children, it is important to teach them about these groups and how to avoid them. Studies have shown that children, particularly in urban areas, are susceptible to the peer pressure to join a gang. Young people are drawn into gangs because they lack direction and mentorship, or they are attracted to the allure of friends, drugs, or alcohol. Most have no idea of the far-reaching consequences of gang involvement. According to one statistic, belonging to a gang makes one 60% more likely to become a murder victim.
Often, gang evidence is found in colors or tattoos used to mark a member of the gang. Many gangs will also 'tag' their turf with graffiti. For homeowners, this is often the first sign that a gang has moved in to the neighborhood. If you've ever had your fence tagged, then you know just how aggravating it can be. Even more troubling is the flow of guns and drugs into neighborhoods that were once quiet, peaceful, and even crime-free. To be accepted into a gang, criminal activities ranging from robbery and car theft to assault and even murder may be required by the gang.
If such gang activity has been spotted in your community, it is important to be proactive. Gang activity demands that you take action to protect yourself and your loved ones. A common misconception about protecting your home from street gangs is that it can't be done. There are actually many affordable ways to deter violence in your neighborhood, from installing adequate outdoor lighting to removing disabled cars, overgrown bushes, and other hiding spots.
In addition to increasing your home security, you can also contact the local police for advice on dealing with gangs. They can help you form a neighborhood crime watch, which is a group of neighbors who agree to keep an eye on activities in their community and report any suspicious behavior to the police. The neighborhood watch should hold regular meetings to discuss ways to improve community safety.
There have recently been stories in the news of unsuspecting people, doing nothing wrong, attacked by a gang while walking home from school or work. Unpredictable threats and mindless hostility can make anyone wonder what they can do to protect themselves while out alone, especially after dark. This is a tough question, and it's one reason why more and more people are choosing to carry personal alarms, pepper sprays, stun guns, and other self defense devices to fight back against violence perpetrated by gangs or other criminals.

Article Title: How the Drug User and Petty Thief Views Your Home

Have you ever wanted to get inside a thief's mind to know what he thinks when he looks at a home? Burglars and thieves can be divided into three general categories: professional thieves, those looking to begin a career in burglary, and petty criminals or drug users looking for easy money. Each of these three criminal types takes a different approach to breaking into a home and has their own way of viewing a potential target. Here's how a drug user or a petty thief would go about breaking into your home.
Criminals looking for a career may be gang members or want to join a gang. They are usually looking for an easy way to make cash fast, and are usually operating under the guidance of a professional thief, a gang member, or a friend who has some experience in breaking and entering. Because they are being guided by someone who knows the basics of burglary, you can expect that they will do a little bit of legwork before choosing a target, although they won't watch a home for weeks, like a true professional criminal might. Usually, they operate in a faster manner, doing a drive-by of the area to learn the approximate times the home will be unoccupied. Many of these criminals will park on an adjacent street before walking over to the house.
In general, these criminals have a less developed plan than the professional thieves. They may not know where to find the valuables in the house, and they may not even know to watch out for security alarms and other home safety features. The most obvious security measures are the ones that will deter these thieves. Keep your valuables out of plain sight by hiding them behind curtains or in a diversion safe. Invest in strong locks and security lighting to make your home more difficult to break into, especially for those who haven't yet learned the tricks of the trade.
You can expect them to gain entry by prying the window open, or, if that can't be done, simply breaking it. Upon entry, they will spend a few minutes looking for cash, jewelry, guns, and other very small and portable items, which they may carry out in a pillowcase. These criminals will keep what they want before selling the rest to friends, pawn shops, or anyone on the street willing to buy it. Take extra precautions to safeguard your medicine cabinet; these thieves are often on the prowl because they need drug money.
The final group of thieves, comprised of drug users and occasional petty thieves, are opportunists. There is no planning involved; they see a valuable item in plain view, they break a window, and they take it. Often known as "smash and grab," they won't spend more than a minute or two inside. These criminals are the same ones who will shoplift in any store where they can walk in, grab the product, and get out quickly. They will spend very little time on the theft, selling the stolen items as quickly as possible for some fast cash.
The beginning professional or petty thief thinks that they are being careful not to be seen, but they just aren't as good at it as the true professional. While professionals expect to get caught about one percent of the time, the arrest ratio for this type of thief is about one in 20 break-ins, or even 1 in 10 for those stealing to pay for drugs. Even though they will be caught eventually, it is your responsibility to take the necessary precautions to protect your family, home, and property from burglars of every type, from the drug user to the professional.

Do you ever consider what you would take with you if you had just a few seconds to grab your most prized possessions before fleeing a tornado, a hurricane, or a fire? Imagine the aftermath of escaping such a disaster if you haven't taken the necessary steps to protect your most important possessions, both in terms of financial worth and sentimental value.
How long do you think it would take you to figure out how to sort out your credit cards, bills, insurance policies, and other important papers that are probably sitting somewhere in your house? You probably figure that if you ever have a question about any of these important documents, the contact information to get your question answered is on the document itself. But what if the document has disappeared in a fire or is under three feet of water as your house floods? What will you do then? Here are some ways you can prevent this scenario from happening to you:
Copy all of your important documents, including passports, birth and marriage certificates, wills, loan documents, and insurance policies. Don't forget to copy personal papers that hold sentimental importance to you, even if they have no financial value. These documents, which can include photos, recipes, children's art, love letters, and so much more, can be kept in hard-copy form or on a CD.
Back up your computer frequently. This will prevent data loss not only as the result of a natural disaster, but also resulting from power surges, computer viruses, or theft. Far too many people assume that the information in their computer is protected, but this is far from the case. Back up your computer onto an external hard drive as often as possible.
Finally, make copies of the front and back of your driver's license and your credit cards, and put together a list of access codes and passwords. This list is very important to safeguard from damage and from thieves; it should always be stored inside a safe, never in a desk drawer or any other unsecured area of the home.
Once you've made copies of your most important documents, don't just keep them in your house. Any natural disaster that destroys the originals is also likely to affect the copies if they are stored nearby. Instead, keep them in a top quality fireproof safe or in a safe deposit box in a nearby bank. If you opt for a bank box, make sure that the box is accessible to at least one person other than yourself, in case you are unable to reach the bank yourself. Many people keep three sets of important documents; the originals in their home, copies in a safe deposit box, and a third set in a home safe.
What can you do about important possessions that can't be photocopied or duplicated? These items should be stored in a portable box in an easily accessible location. If you leave for long periods of time, such as on vacation, put the box in your home safe. If a disaster strikes while you're at home, remember to grab the box on your way out. You may also want to make an inventory of possessions that are impossible to take with you, such as expensive electronics, to aid in the insurance claim process if disaster strikes. Keep this list in the safe too; fleeing from a natural disaster is no time to be hunting around the house to assemble your most important possessions.

Article Title: Preparing For 2012 - Some Practical Precautions

Many people believe that according to the ancient Mayan calendar, the world is coming to an end in 2012. The concept has even spurred a blockbuster movie, "2012," in which the world is overtaken by massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters.
Supporters of this theory believe that the world will end in December of 2012, with the end of the world caused by an earthquake, a solar flare, or some other natural disaster. Whether you believe the hype or not, the recent media surrounding 2012 does bring to light the importance of preparing for every possibility. Even if it isn't technically the end of the world, a natural disaster can sure seem like it, as your home and belongings are ruined and you are forced to adapt to whatever's left.
No matter where you live in the world, natural disasters of some type are a distinct possibility. It may be earthquakes, tornados, or hurricanes, but you'll never know exactly when they will strike. The only thing you can do is to be prepared for such eventualities. Making the right preparations ahead of time requires considering the type of disaster most likely to strike your region, as well as your family's unique needs if you were to fend for yourselves for a week or more.
Every home should have a disaster kit containing water, food, first aid supplies, and other necessities for every member of the household. Don't forget medications, blankets, and flashlights. You'll also need duct tape, plastic sheeting, and other simple building materials to build a shelter or make your home inhabitable following the catastrophe. Your emergency kit must be immediately accessible, not buried somewhere on a shelf in the garage where it will likely do you no good in your time of need. Consider placing emergency supplies in the most structurally sound areas of the home, as well as the areas where you're likely to run in the event of an earthquake, tornado, or other natural disaster.
In addition to having an adequate stock of emergency supplies, it's also important to know how to care for your house during a natural disaster. Earthquakes, for example, can cause fires, water leaks, and other damage to your home. Every homeowner should know where the main switches to the utilities are located so that they can be turned off if necessary.
Families should also practice a disaster plan. In the aftermath of a catastrophe that has ruined your house, what should you do? What if you were not all at home when the disaster struck? Where will you regroup? Every family member must know what to do in this scenario, so that they can do the right thing when panic and confusion set in.
Whether you believe it's the end of the world or not, would you be prepared for a cataclysmic event? Whether the predictions turn true or not, we should all be prepared for common natural disasters. You can't prepare for every possibility, but there is no excuse to not have the basic necessities that you'd need in the event of an earthquake or major storm.

The central character in many fictional stories is an average man turned hero. On TV, in films, and in books, you'll see people "just like you" saving the day by surviving extreme situations, rescuing helpless children, or standing up to attackers or bullies. As a nation, we value self-reliance and self-sufficiency, and this is reflected in the heroes portrayed in the media.
Nevertheless, there are some areas of real life where it won't pay to be the hero. In fact, trying to be a hero in these situations can be quite dangerous; it may even get you killed. When it comes to defending yourself, it is critical to know when to walk away, when to fight back, and when to wait for help.
As a homeowner, we all want to believe that we can remain in complete control over what goes on in our homes, especially when it comes to safety and security. Unfortunately, we must accept that there are some things that are beyond our control. There is absolutely no surefire way to ensure that burglars will stay out of your house. Still, the ideal is to avoid emergency situations whenever possible. This means taking the necessary precautions to protect you, your family, and your belongings from harm. Take simple steps like improving outdoor lighting and installing a dummy camera to ward off would-be burglars.
Consider installing other devices, such as door and window alarms, to scare away any burglar who does try to enter your home. It's always better to scare the burglar away without having to confront him yourself. While television heroes never seem to face any consequences of chasing after the bad guy, you might.
If you do hear a strange noise in the home, your first instinct will probably be to investigate, but don't feel too pressured to do so. Instead, retreat to a safe place. If you can get out of the house, leave and call the police. If you can't, head in the opposite direction as the noises, and call the police. You don't want to surprise and confront a burglar, who may be armed and whose reactions are unpredictable.
If you are in a situation in which you have no choice but to defend yourself, such as coming eye to eye with an attacker, and you feel you are in imminent danger, never confront the burglar without something to fight back with. Ideally, this will be a canister of pepper spray, a stun gun, a TASER device, or some other device designed explicitly for self defense. If no such products are nearby, grab anything you can see to protect yourself.
If you must confront an attacker, be as cautious as possible. Sometimes, the smartest move is realizing that you cannot handle the situation alone. Although stories you see on TV and in the movies paint a picture of regular people turned into heroes, this is not always realistic. Sometimes, protecting yourself and your family means not trying to be the hero, but calling the police for help.

When it comes to home security, most of the available options are meant for homeowners, not renters or those who are residing in a dorm room, apartment, or hotel. For example, a renter or someone staying in a hotel room for the weekend cannot install a security system or surveillance cameras.
No matter where you live, at some point in time it is possible that someone might try to break in. This possibility exists whether you live in a rural mansion or a tiny apartment on the fourteenth floor of an apartment building. While some areas do have higher crime rates than other areas, no area is immune to crime. Even though you don't own the space, there are several invaluable methods you can use to lessen the chance of someone breaking in.
First, keep your doors and windows locked at all times. This applies even if you are staying in a secure building with a doorman, and you live far from the ground floor. The truth is, there is no way for you to know who is in the building. What if you are attacked by a guest, or by someone who lives on your floor? It's always safest to keep your doors and windows shut and locked, no matter how safe you feel in the building.
Second, be aware of potential security threats. Know who to call in case of any emergency that might occur while you're in the apartment, dorm, or hotel room, from a break-in to a water leak. Even if you only plan to stay there a few weeks, you never know what could happen, and it's best to know how to deal with these issues before you're panicking.
No matter where you live, it's important to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Make a mental note of people who seem to be loitering outside the building. Never let anyone inside a secure building, even if they are fumbling around as if looking for their set of keys. If someone is knocking directly on your door, do not assume that they have a good reason to be doing so, and never let them into your personal space unless you are sure that they have a valid reason for coming inside.
Finally, protect the entrance to your dwelling, as well as your belongings, with a personal alarm. Many of these portable alarms can also function as door or window alarms, emitting a loud alarm to scare away anyone who attempts to enter without your knowledge. This is a great option when traveling; its very small size enables it to fit easily in your luggage, or even in your pocket, where you can use it to scare off would-be purse snatchers and others who might try to harm you on your travels. Personal alarms are a great choice for those who plan to move soon, since they are so easy to take with you when you go.
Living on your own in a dorm, apartment, or hotel can be scary for anyone, especially if you don't know anyone in the town and have just moved in. Even if your living space still feels unfamiliar to you, you can take the necessary steps to ensure that you'll be safe staying there.

Article Title: The Mental Side of Self Defense - 4 Self Defense Modes

If you were to look around at all of the martial arts schools and self defense training programs, you might come to the conclusion that all that is needed for effective self defense is to learn a few moves or techniques. However, true self defense is so much more than that. Without considering the mental side of the defense scenario, you will be unable to act in a dangerous situation, even after taking self defense courses.
Many martial arts-based self defense classes are missing the key factor of the mental fight. The strategies taught in such classes may or may not work under pressure, when your life is on the line. If you are evaluating potential self defense strategies, don't make the error of neglecting the important issue of emotions and your natural emotional response to the stress of an attack.
While it's pretty easy right now to rationalize that you'll be able to keep your calm in the heat of the moment, the truth is that humans are emotional beings. Before you can even think of a potential way out of an attack, you must overcome your body's natural response to the stress. This is often described as the "fight, flight, or freeze" response. It is perfectly natural, but it is a very dangerous thing at a time when seconds can mean the difference between life or death, especially if you're not expecting your body to respond in this manner.
Although your personality type can have an affect on your body's response in a time of panic, there are four general response possibilities recognized by experts. These responses come not from thinking about the predicament but from primitive instincts hard-wired into the brain. The four recognized response modes include:
Confident and Relaxed. In this mode, we don't really perceive the actions as a threat. Even when presented with a serious attacker, the response is strength and confidence. Those who are able to remain in this mode hold their ground and are able to respond to the attacker's moves quickly and efficiently.
Direct and Committed. In this mode, the victim fights back quickly with direct, committed actions prompted by either fear or anger. In this mode, we take a direct approach, "going for it" no matter the consequences. This can be an effective self defense mode, although it can result in overly reckless actions.
Defensive and Emotional. Far more often, the person being attacked is overwhelmed by the aggression displayed by the assailant. The body's natural response will be covering vital targets and fleeing to a safer distance, perhaps by literally jumping backwards at the sight of the attacker.
Evasive and Avoiding. People in this mode tend to avoid conflict at all costs. The first impulse will be to naturally create distance between ourselves and our attacker. Those who are in this emotional mode at the time of the attack will duck or evade the assailant's blows, but probably won't be able to land any punches of their own.
Even in similar circumstances, our emotional states are constantly changing to reflect the situation. The emotional state in which you find yourself during an attack can be affected by the situation surrounding the attack, as well as the actual assailant you're dealing with. Your body may respond to one attack with confidence, while remaining evasive or defensive during another. The important point is to train yourself to be able to fight back effectively regardless of your emotional response to the situation.

Retail stores are some of the most popular targets for thieves, especially if they specialize in small, valuable, and easily resold merchandise. In a retail store, a single thief can do a lot of damage in just a few seconds, even while your store is open for business and there are plenty of people around to catch the burglar. Shoplifting is among the most common crimes committed today, but loss prevention strategies can help to prevent it in your store. You don't have to pay huge sums of money to hire uniformed security guards to keep watch over your store. If you own a retail store and want to deter theft, here are a few security tips to consider:
Use multiple layers of security - You might consider a single lock on the front door to be enough security for your home, but it's a far cry from appropriate retail security. If your merchandise is kept in display cases, these cases should be locked and alarmed. The same goes for merchandise storage areas, even if they're not normally accessible to the general public. Consider motion sensors, door and window alarms, and other security features to protect your valuable merchandise.
Install Metal Detectors - A metal detector at the entry point is a particularly valuable strategy if you sell electronics or other metal objects. If you do install walk-through metal detectors, like those found in large retail chains and in airports, you might also want to consider a handheld metal detector to detect the source of the alarm when your metal detector does go off.
Make Effective Use Of Security Cameras - In addition to security features meant to detect the crime as it is happening, consider measures that can make your store a less likely target for thieves. First, arrange your store layout so that employees can keep an eye on all customers at all times. The goal is to create as few "blind spots" as possible. Install prominent surveillance cameras, such as dome cameras in the ceiling. If you can't afford a sophisticated camera system, consider dummy cameras. These fake cameras are real enough to fool any potential thief, and serve as a very effective visual deterrent against crimes of all kinds. There are even signs you can post to alert would-be criminals to the presence of alarm systems and CCTV security cameras.
Be alert to employee theft - Did you know that more merchandise is stolen each year by employees than by shoplifters posing as customers? If you own a store, consider installing a hidden camera to monitor employee behaviors. Be especially alert to the possibility of employees stealing from the cash register.
Train your employees well - Great employees can deter theft by providing each customer with their undivided attention. Criminals posing as customers won't be able to steal anything if your employee's eyes are on them the entire time they are in the store.
Shoplifting costs retail stores across the United States more than ten billion dollars in a single year. To counter this loss, which has a significant impact on their bottom line, retailers have no choice but to increase their prices. If all of these security precautions are in place, most would-be burglars will take one look at your store and move on to the next potential target. The merchandise in your store, however valuable it might be, simply won't worth the risk to them!

The #1 reason why most homes do not have adequate home security is the overwhelming belief that break-ins and other crimes only happen to "other people." If you're like most people, you believe that you will never become the victim of a crime. The most frequent targets of a break-in are the very same people who never thought is could happen to them, because they are the ones who fail to prepare their home and take the necessary security precautions.
You do have control over the safety of your family; by taking a proactive approach and realizing the truth behind burglaries, you can make your home a less likely target for home invasions. Here are a few facts that you may be surprised to learn potential burglars already know about your family and your home:
1) Where you hide your jewelry and cash. Yes, they will be able to find your valuables, without ever having been in your home before! Experienced burglars will always check the bedside table, the jewelry box, the lingerie drawer, and the dresser drawers first, since most people keep some sort of valuable objects here. If you do keep these items in a large and obvious safe, they won't have time to crack the lock, but they may take the whole safe with them. Statistics show that in home invasions, kids' rooms are actually one of the safest rooms in the house, since few families keep anything valuable in a child's room.
2) The layout of the home. An experienced burglar may gain entry to your home through posing as a yard worker, maintenance man, or even a stranded motorist asking to use the home. They may not actually steal anything during this visit, but it will give them a good idea of your home's layout for their later return. Once inside, they can scope out the home and the valuables. They may even secretly unlatch a window to make their entry even easier. Burglars may also learn about your home through public information such as real estate ads.
3) How to get inside easily. Far too many families leave a window or door unlocked or even open at night. If not, the spare key is probably under the doormat or a flowerpot, or on top of the door frame. If there are shrubs or trees near side windows, it will be easy for a burglar to break in unseen. Burglars know to target homes that have entrance points, either doors or windows, that are hidden in the shadows and don't seem to be protected by alarms or cameras.
Burglars also know that your neighbors probably won't come to your aid. Far too many homeowners rely on their neighbors to catch and stop someone trying to break in. The truth is that even if a burglar must smash a window to get inside, your neighbor probably won't call the police. Instead, they'll listen for a second to see if they hear any other noises, and then promptly go about their business.
4) Your routine. Many burglars will watch your home for a week or more to determine your daily routine. Most families have a surprisingly standard routine that does not change very much from day to day. This makes it easy to guess when the home will be unoccupied. Even without watching the home for hours or days, it is relatively easy to guess when you'll be home. A burglar might, for example, touch a car hood to see if it's still warm, which means that you've recently arrived home. A computer-generated pizza flyer left for more than a day on the front door means no one has been home to remove it. The same goes for newspapers on the driveway. A dry spot on the driveway while it's raining, however, means that you've recently driven your car away from the home.
5) Your lifestyle and even when you eat dinner. Did you know that thieves sometimes turn to MySpace and Facebook to find potential victims? Far too many people trust the internet with their personal details, from where they're going on vacation to their purchase of a new TV. These little details might seem insignificant at the time, but they can be used by resourceful criminals.

Whether you are using a metal detector to detect weapons, buried gold, or nails in a piece of wood, most metal detectors are designed to work in about the same way. You might use a handheld, ground coil, or walk-through metal detector, depending on the application. For the search to be effective, it is essential to have a basic understanding of how a metal detector operates.
All metal detectors have a search coil or loop, around which there is an invisible field. When a metal objects is within this field, the detector gives an audible, and usually a visual, signal to alert you to the presence of metal. Whether you're looking for a knife or a silver bracelet, this alert is what you're waiting for.
There are several different types of metal detector technologies. For example, BFO, or Beat Frequency Oscillator, detectors are simple to use but can only detect objects at a relatively close distance. VLF, or Very Low Frequency devices, are among the most common types, particularly in ground search metal detectors. Pulse Induction, or PI metal detectors, are ideal for searching on salt water beaches or in soil containing a high concentration of minerals. Your metal detector may include features such as the ability to discriminate between different types of metals or different types of objects. Another important consideration is the search depth, whether you're buying a handheld or ground search detector, as it directly relates to how close the metal detector must be to the metal object.
The size of the metal detector coil affects the size of the area you are able to search with one pass of the detector. Be sure to determine what this range is before putting your metal detector to use. If your passes are too far apart, you won't be searching the entire area. If too close together, you'll be wasting your time searching the same area multiple times. You can test your metal detector's range by placing a penny or dime on the ground or on a table that is clear of other metal. Move the metal detector back and forth across the area to test its range. Repeat your search by raising the metal detector further and further from the coin to see how distance affects the search range. The further the distance between the detector coil and the metal object, the smaller the area of the coil that will pick up the signal from the metal.
Most ground search metal detectors have a circular coil between six and twelve inches in diameter. The size of the search area with a handheld metal detector depends on the size and design of the device; look for one that is relatively lightweight, yet has a large search area. No matter the style, one method for ensuring that you are covering the entire area is to pretend that you are painting the search area using your metal detector as a paint roller. Sweep side to side using your detector, avoiding leaving unpainted spots or painting the same area twice. This is the most effective method for using a metal detector.
When it comes to metal detecting, the two most important factors in an effective and efficient search are knowledge and practice. In order to use the detector properly, it is critical that you understand how the metal detector works and have practiced using it.

Article Title: Choosing the Pepper Spray That is Right For You

Pepper sprays are some of the most popular self defense products on the market today. Defense sprays are affordable, easy to carry and use, and extremely effective. Often referred to as Mace (which is actually a specific brand), pepper sprays are enormously popular for use in self defense situations. These nonlethal canisters do not cause long-term physical effects on the target, and are designed to give the victim precious moments to get away from a dangerous or violent situation. When it comes to buying pepper spray, there are countless options. Here is a guide to buying the pepper spray that is right for you:
Purpose - Most general-purpose pepper sprays are formulated to take down humans almost instantly. They should also work against animals, such as bears or dogs, although their effects might be a bit unpredictable. If you're looking for a pepper spray specifically to use against wild or domestic animals, consider bear spray or dog spray, which has been formulated to work efficiently yet non-lethally against animals.
Size and Capacity - The size and style of the canister is perhaps one of the most important decisions you can make regarding your pepper spray purchase. Pepper spray comes in everything from a keychain or disguised pen-style canister perfect for to carrying in your purse to a large can to keep by your front door. Even the tiniest half-ounce canisters carry up to 20 half-second bursts of spray, more than enough to take an attacker down. If you plan to take your pepper spray with you to protect you from muggings, carjackings, assaults, and other potential street crimes, select a small and convenient canister.
Formulation and Concentration - Most pepper sprays contain OC, or Oleoresin Capsicum, which is a chemical derived from hot peppers. Others contain orthochlorobenzalmalonigtrile (CS) or CN (alphachloroacetaphenone). In general, the most effective pepper sprays contain OC rather than CS or CN. OC is a natural chemical that works instantly to cause tears and temporary blindness, lung inflammation and uncontrollable coughing, and other symptoms to take down any attacker quickly. In addition to the formulation, the pepper spray also derives its strength from the chemical's concentration, which may range from about 6% to 18%.
Strength - The strength of pepper spray is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHUs), the same scale used to measure the heat of hot peppers. Jalapenos are rated at 5,000 SHU, while Habaneros are up to 300,000 SHU. Pure OC can be rated up to 15 million SHU, although formulations exceeding 4 million SHU are not recommended for self defense sprays. The most effective pepper sprays are rated between 500,000 and 3 million SHU.
Delivery - Pepper sprays may be released from the canister in several manners, including a fine mist spray, a fog, or a stream. Fogs are ideal for targeting a wide area, such as when being attacked by a group of assailants. A stream is great for those who are confident in their aim, as it delivers a larger quantity of pepper spray concentrated in one area. A mist is recommended for those who want an easy-to-use way to fight back against an attacker, but are worried that their aim might not be very accurate. In addition the delivery method, the canister design also affects the range of the spray. Some sprays have a range of 4-8 feet, while others, particularly the solid stream style, will reach attackers standing as many as 20 feet away.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The media and crime have an interesting relationship. These days, it's hard to turn on the news without hearing about some crime happening somewhere. In fact, there are even reporters assigned to cover certain courts or police departments to report on the latest crimes. It is well known that the publicity surrounding certain crimes or court cases can even spur a rash of "copycat crimes." In addition to crimes that are reported on in the news and in the paper, there are also plenty of TV shows about crimes. From the TV show "COPS" to the investigative drama series "CSI," it's clear that crime makes for entertaining TV. Do we actually love violence? If the media is any indication, we do!
If you watch the news, you've probably noticed that crimes are happening everywhere, in every city. Sensational headlines make for good TV and sell thousands of newspapers, but is so much coverage of crimes on TV serving to desensitize us to the truth, so that we no longer question why crimes are occurring all around us and have come to believe that it's just part of normal daily life?
Is the violence on TV just harmless entertainment? That question remains controversial. Some psychologists even think that such shows are playing a role in increasing violence in the real world. Not only are there copycat crimes influenced by what is shown, but more and more people are watching violence and crime on TV and become to think of it as normal and commonplace. There are currently many studies being done on whether exposure to media violence, whether it's the nightly news or a violent video game, can increase aggression and violence in young people.
Whether you watch the nightly news show, or sit down to watch a crime-scene drama, you aren't getting a realistic picture of how crimes occur. All too often, these shows highlight what's been done to catch the bad guy. If all of your knowledge of crime comes from the media, you might believe that perpetrators of every crime are quickly caught using high-tech DNA testing and other technologies, but this is far from the case. In fact, if you are attacked on the street and there are no leads, there is a good possibility that the perpetrator will never be caught. That's something that no TV show will ever tell you. Never do you see the stress and anxiety faced by the victims of these crimes for months, years, and even a lifetime following a violent crime.
No matter its exact effect, it is doubtless that crime in the media affects our mindset. Consider the college student carrying pepper spray after listening to a news clip about a recent rash of crime on campus, or the housewife who avoids shopping alone at night because of a recent string of carjackings. This response is certainly understandable. The media constantly publicizes the "bad" news of the day, making it seems as if crime is on the rise across the board. Whether this is true or not, it certainly serves as a powerful reminder that crime does exist, and that we must be prepared for it, lest we become the next victim mourned on the local news.

Article Title: The Use of Personal Alarms

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
For the same reason that the sound of a barking dog scares burglars away, the sound of a personal alarm will scare away any criminal trying to attack you. Personal alarms emit a very loud alarm, sometimes up to 130 decibels. Personal alarms create plenty of noise to scare your attacker away and alert anyone in the vicinity to your situation.
The last thing an assailant wants when they are trying to attack you is a lot of noise drawing attention to them. Depending on their motives, they may be trying to steal your purse, rape you, or push you into their getaway car, for example. Any form of resistance, including physical attacks or noise, makes their attack more difficult to complete. They are hoping to get away with their objective as quickly as possible. Did you know that most carjackings happen in fifteen seconds or less? The more time it takes, the more they are likely to be noticed, and pulling out your personal alarm just adds to your attacker's problems, making it more likely that they will run away rather than continuing their attack.
In a situation where you are being attacked, your best line of defense is to react quickly, fight back physically as much as you can, and make a lot of noise. A personal alarm is the perfect weapon to make a lot of noise- that's what it's there for. Combined with other methods of fighting back, whether strictly physical or using a stun gun or pepper spray, a personal alarm buys you valuable time to get away from the attacker.
The portable personal alarm can be used in hundreds of applications. Whether you're at home, at work, or traveling, the personal alarm, at about the size of a garage door opener, is small enough to be easily concealed, yet loud and effective. Personal alarms are cost effective, too, so you can keep them in various convenient locations around your home, plus at the office and in your car.
Anyone can use the personal alarm for self defense, no matter where they are going or what they do for a living. Personal alarms are especially useful for lifeguards, neighborhood watch officers, those who enjoy jogging or exercising outside, and many others. They are also great for kids, even those who are too young for you to trust with a stun gun or pepper spray canister. Some nursing homes give personal alarms to their patients, not only for attacks but also medical emergencies or other situations. Many personal alarms include keychain attachments or an LED light for additional functionality.
Always carry some form of self defense product, whether you choose a stun gun, pepper spray, defense baton, personal alarm, or any other product. In fact, a personal alarm is most effective when you can follow it up with physical means for self defense. These products are inexpensive and easy to use, and very effective at stopping attacks. When it comes to your personal safety, remember that you are the one in control. Yes, the police should be called after an attack, but they likely won't be near enough to help you as it unfolds. It is up to you to stop an attack in progress using a personal alarm, stun gun, pepper spray, or any other means.

Article Title: Do You Know How to Spot a Hidden Camera

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Years ago, it was quite easy to spot a "hidden" security camera. Although the owner might try to hide it behind something, its large and bulky design made this difficult. However, due to the tiny size of today's hidden cameras, they can be hidden in almost anything, from a picture frame to a teddy bear. If you don't know that the camera is there, how can you spot them?
Today, many versions of hidden or "spy" cameras are wireless. With previous versions of these small surveillance cameras, a wire would still be needed to go from the recorder and power supply to the camera itself. No matter how small the camera was, the wire could still be detected. Not anymore! A wireless hidden camera is virtually impossible to detect unless you know exactly where to look. When you get up close, you might see a tiny hole in the object, through which the lens of the camera peers. However, with so many objects in your typical room, it's essentially impossible to catch such a camera, even if you do think that there is one somewhere in the room.
If you think there is a hidden camera, and you're trying to find it, your first step is to consider the potential hiding spaces. Remember, the camera will need a clear line of sight from wherever it's located to wherever the activity being recorded is taking place. Now, consider the potential areas where such a camera could be positioned to give it the correct view. Try this exercise in your living room - how many different places can you count where you could hide a hidden camera in that one room alone?
With the prices for hidden cameras dropping each year, making such equipment very affordable, anyone can install a hidden camera. These devices make an excellent choice for your living room, your office, or anywhere else where you'd like to watch activities without anyone knowing they are being watched. Hidden cameras are a great way to watch your employees or the nanny as they go about their daily activities.
There are however, some areas where it would be beneficial to have a large and immediately obvious security camera. Smaller isn't always better. Take, for example, theft prevention cameras in retail locations. A hidden camera would record the theft, just as a regular-style surveillance camera, but because the perpetrator has no idea they are being recorded, the camera won't stop them from taking your merchandise. Likewise, a hidden camera outside the front door of your home won't stop someone from breaking in, even though it will provide evidence that you can turn over to the police. In both of these situations, a dome camera or even a dummy security camera might be the better option, because they provide a visual deterrent for crime, theft, and other activities.
Still, there are many great ways to use a hidden camera inside your home, office, or business. Once such a camera is installed, it will be virtually undetectable by anyone in the area, unless they already know precisely where to look. Thanks to the small size of today's hidden cameras, the placement options are nearly endless.

Cell phones and the cordless phone in your home have become such a common convenience that most people take it for granted, never considering their personal safety when answering or making calls. Unfortunately, we live in a world where self defense should be one of your top considerations. There are ways to protect yourself when using your phone. Many would-be criminals use phone calls as a way to steal your identity, gather information for a break-in, or even simply harass unsuspecting people. A few simple techniques can protect you from such scenarios.
First, always use Caller ID to screen your calls. Most cell phones and newer cordless phones have this capability built-in. If you don't recognize the number, let the call go to the voicemail. If it's someone who really needs to speak with you, they will leave a message. Avoid picking up the phone if you don't know who is on the other line- you may be caught unaware and end up inadvertently giving out information you shouldn't.
If any number comes up and you wonder "whose phone number is this?" don't answer the phone. This is especially true if you have reason to worry about your safety, such as if you've just left a bad relationship or you've angered someone. For your own safety, avoid answering such calls, no matter how curious you are about who might be on the other end.
Avoid freely giving out your number if you have no good reason to do so. Consider making your number unlisted. If your name is in the phone book, use your first initial only. This technique will make it more difficult for callers to trick you into giving out information by pretending that they know you. If you are a female living alone, it is especially important not to use your full name.
Of course, there are some legitimate reasons why you'd need to give out your number or answer calls from people you've never met. For example, when selling something through newspaper ads or on Craigslist, many potential buyers will want to call you. In this situation, consider using email instead so that you can be in control of the communications.
Any children in the home should be educated on phone usage, whether they are allowed to answer the telephone or not. Train your kids not to let the caller know they're home alone. They should also know all emergency numbers, including 911, your work number, and a trusted relative's number. A list of these numbers should be kept next to the phone.
Even a prank call can be intimidating or downright scary. If you are receiving harassing phone calls, your first step is to contact the police to report the harassment. The next step is to call the phone company to get the number blocked. If you need to find out who is calling you, there are reverse phone directories that may list the owner of the number. Even if the call is coming from an unlisted number or a cell phone, there are ways to find out who is calling you and put an end to the harassment.

When on vacation, many travelers become absorbed in the enjoyable experience and forget to watch out for themselves. Unfortunately, far too many criminals target unsuspecting vacationers. Remember that you are particularly vulnerable when far from home, and be careful.
Before you leave, do some research online, and check out various areas of the city you plan to visit. If you can, ask other travelers for their opinions of this area. Make sure that it is considered safe for tourists. Avoid rough areas of town, both when choosing a hotel and when traveling around the city. If the hotel where you're staying has a concierge, ask for suggestions on activities and restaurants. It is safer to stay on the beaten path and visit popular tourist attractions than to start going down back alleys and "taking in the local atmosphere" somewhere tourists may not be welcomed.
Your self defense strategies depend, at least in part, on your travel plans. Pack pepper spray or a stun gun in your luggage if flying, or carry them in your car when driving. Keep these in your purse or pocket when visiting unfamiliar areas in another city. When planning your trip, determine which devices you'll be able to take with you depending on your mode of transportation, and don't forget to check the local laws regarding carrying such devices. Self defense products can make it much safer to travel in an unfamiliar city or country.
Take only the credit cards that you will need on your trip. This way, if your wallet is lost you won't have to go through the hassle of calling to replace every card you have. Leave your expensive-looking jewelry at home. Before you leave, make copies of your passports, hotel confirmation, and other important travel documents, and keep them in a separate bag from your second set. Also carry an extra credit card with these papers. This way, if your luggage is lost or stolen, you won't be stranded.
Once you reach your vacation destination, do not accept rides from unlicensed taxis, which are common in many areas of the world. If you fly, most airports can help you arrange ground transportation. Never hitchhike, especially in an area where an unfamiliar language is spoken.
When paying for taxi rides, food, souvenirs, or anything else, don't pull out a wad of cash. This can draw the eye of thieves. Keep your cell phone on you at all times, and know the local emergency numbers and the numbers of everyone else you're traveling with. Make sure that your cell phone plan is updated before you go so that your international calls won't end up costing you hundreds of dollars.
While traveling, stay with a group as often as possible. This can help to deter criminals. If you must go out alone, make sure that at least one person knows your plans. When talking with strangers, don't divulge too much about yourself, your travel plans, or where you'll be staying.
Never be afraid to travel, but be street smart when you do it. Take a few precautions, have a plan, and prepare yourself for defense with pepper spray or another self defense device. This can ensure that your trip is fun and safe.

Article Title: How Professional Burglars View Your Home

Have you ever wondered what a thief is thinking when he looks at your home? In general, burglars and thieves can be divided into three categories. The first are professional, career criminals. The second are criminals looking for a career in thievery. The third category is drug users and impulsive criminals. Each of these three categories of criminals have their own way of looking at potential targets. Here's how a professional would go about breaking into your home.
Professional criminals tend to be very intelligent when it comes to selecting potential targets. They are looking for small and very profitable property that can be sold quickly, and will avoid homes with a high risk of being caught. A professional robber or scam artist may even relocate, change their method of breaking in, or vary the type of items stolen to avoid being caught. Still, some professional burglars have admitted that they expect to be caught occasionally, perhaps one in every 100 break-ins, and even expect to do time in prison every now and again.
Many professional criminals of this type claim that there is nothing they can't steal. Security systems and devices may delay their entry, but they have the knowledge to make it inside regardless of your security measures. Still, if you have posted enough signage about your security features, they may avoid your home entirely, since they certainly don't want to get caught. The cheapest way to avoid becoming the target of professional thieves is to install security lighting and surveillance cameras around the home. These professionals know to look for such measures and are searching for homes that contain valuable items and are easy to break into undetected.
Before breaking in, the professional criminal often does his research and already knows what items of value can be found there. The goal is to take cash and anything that can easily be converted into cash. Typical items stolen by a professional include guns, jewelry, and electronics. Professional thieves may watch your home for several weeks before breaking in, and they will know your routines, your lifestyle, and the layout of your home. Professional criminals might pose as a jogger, a salesman, or a repair worker to gain information or even to enter your home.
Although professional criminals are wary of being caught, they may spend several hours in the home. They've already determined how long they have until the homeowner comes home, and will often drive a delivery van and wear uniforms so that passerby assume that they are working for the homeowner when they are moving belongings out of the home. In fact, there are even stories of unsuspecting neighbors stopping to chat with a professional burglar during a home invasion.
Many of these criminals have rationalized their behaviors and no longer see themselves as victimizing people. They may tell themselves that their behavior is acceptable because your homeowner's insurance will cover the items taken, so they are really hurting the insurance companies, not the homeowner. Despite this rationalization, having your home broken into will have a huge emotional impact. In fact, many families say the biggest impact in the aftermath of a robbery wasn't that the property was stolen, it was the feeling of no longer being safe in their own home. Protecting your family, your home, and your property is your responsibility. Make sure that you've taken the necessary steps to avoid being targeted by professional burglars.

Article Title: 6 Tips You Must Know About Burglars

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
For many homeowners, the most frightening situation they can think of is being awaken at night by a home invasion. A burglary may happen during the day or at night, whether you're away at work or relaxing in front of a TV. If you hope to defend yourself and your family against an intruder, here are 6 things you must know about the criminal breaking into your home:
1) Burglars will not be dressed in "burglar" attire. Burglars know never to dress up as "burglars" like you'd see on TV, wearing all black and ski masks. Wearing regular clothes makes their getaway a lot easier. A burglar is more likely to dress up as a salesman, a maintenance worker, or a delivery driver, and may even use this costume as a ruse to get inside your home.
2) A fake security camera would fool them. Savvy criminals will case your property to look for security services such as outdoor lighting, cameras, and security systems. Many homeowners think there is nothing they can do to keep burglars out short of installing sophisticated security devices. But, a dummy surveillance camera will work just as well as the real thing to serve as a visual deterrent for home invasions.
3) They will assume doors and windows are easily entered. Far too many homeowners forget to lock their windows, leave a spare key under the door mat, and fail to arm their home security system, making it all too easily for a criminal trying to gain entry to the home. You can bet that any criminal will know exactly where to look for your spare key. No matter how good you think your hiding space is, they've seen the exact same thing many times before. Foil the burglar's tactics by safely locking your doors and windows and keeping the spare key inside.
4) Burglars hate lights and noise. Door and window alarms work so well because of their ear-splitting wail. No criminal wants to get caught in the act, so a would-be burglar will likely turn and run at this point. Using the same principle, keep home invasions at bay by installing powerful outdoor lighting. Burglars are not comfortable working where someone might spot them.
5) Burglars don't care who they harm in the process. Most burglars try to break in when no one's home, so that no one is there to stop them or call the police. But if they do run into an angry homeowner, they don't care who you are, they will fight back violently, and many intruders are armed with a knife or gun. If you're home when a criminal breaks into your home, you better be ready to fight back with a stun gun, pepper spray canister, or other self defense device.
6) You won't shoot them. Burglars also know that if the homeowner is armed, they probably don't actually know how to shoot the gun, and at this moment are far too scared to shoot. A brazen criminal might just try to grab the gun from you before you're able to get off a single shot. That's why it's so important to protect yourself with a device you feel comfortable using immediately.

Date rape has become a hot-button issue in the media today. Many people associate date rape with the use of drugs like "roofies," which are commonly referred to as date-rape drugs. Others think that the problem is restricted to college campuses and young people who drink or party a little too much. Many misconceptions about date rape are widely accepted. Many people think of rape as something that happens when a stranger jumps out from behind a bush or breaks into a home, overpowering a female. The truth is, both women and men are susceptible to date rape, and rape by a perpetrator who is known to the victim is far more common than rape by a stranger.
Accepting a date is not automatic consent to have sex. It doesn't matter how fancy the restaurant is or how nice your date treats you, you are not obligated to have sex when you go on a date. Sex is not something owed in return for paying for dinner and a movie. Both women and men need to understand that it's okay to say no and to mean it. Make your own choices and stick with them; never get talked into something you don't want to do.
How can you protect yourself from date rape? First, be responsible for your actions. Don't go out partying alone, drink more than you can handle, or ask a stranger for a ride home. Never accept an open drink or leave yours unattended for any length of time. Date rape drugs can be concealed easily and dropped into a drink without the knowledge of the victim. Date rape has become a hot-button issue in the media today. Many people associate date rape with the use of drugs like "roofies," which are commonly referred to as date-rape drugs. Others think that the problem is restricted to college campuses and young people who drink or party a little too much. Stay in control and go out with a group of people you know well. Never walk alone at night, and avoid anyone who seems threatening or suspicious. Trust your instincts, even if you can't put your finger on what exactly makes you feel that way.
No matter the precautions you take, there is always the possibility that you will find yourself in a threatening situation. There are ways to protect yourself, but you have to be prepared. Carry a self defense product to defend yourself in any dangerous situation; there are many excellent options. Take, for example, cell phone stun guns. These look just like the cell phone you use everyday, but deliver several hundred thousand volts of electricity when used, rendering any attacker completely incapacitated.
Pepper spray is also a great choice for women or men looking to protect themselves. Pepper sprays come in many shapes and sizes. The lipstick pepper spray is a great option for those trying to lower their risk of date rape. If you're on a date that has taken a bad turn, take out your lipstick pepper spray, as if you were going to reapply your lipstick. Then, catch your attacker by surprise by spraying him in the face with your defense spray, which will instantly blind him while causing difficulty breathing and other effects, giving you plenty of time to escape. Be proactive, take the necessary precautions, and carry a self defense device so that you can protect yourself from date rape and any other potentially dangerous situation that may arise.

Article Title: How an Ultrasonic Dog Repeller Works

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you are looking for a way to stop dog attacks, you may have heard about ultrasonic dog repelling devices. These small devices look just like a garage door opener, and in fact work in much the same way. When you press the button, a high-frequency sound is emitted. This sound is outside the audible range for most humans, but it is quite irritating for dogs and similar animals.
The frequency emitted by ultrasonic dog repelling devices is carefully calibrated to be uncomfortable for the dog, making them run away from you. However, it is not harmful, and will not damage their hearing or produce any other consequences. For the humans around, this device is perfectly safe and will most likely not even be heard at all. The frequency produced is usually between 20,000 Hz and 25,000 Hz, well beyond the audible range for most humans. It can be heard by both dogs and cats, stopping any attacks by domesticated animals and even some small wild animals. Although it could be uncomfortable, and the animal may whimper when backing away, scientific tests have shown that this noise is not very painful and will not cause more than momentary discomfort when the button is pressed.
The sound is not only high-frequency but also loud, so that it can be heard by dogs for quite some distance. Most ultrasonic dog repelling devices will list the effective range. Often, this is around 15 feet, meaning that the dog will hear, and be annoyed by, the sound as soon as they get within 15 feet of the device. Dog repellers are recommended as animal attack deterrents because they allow you to maintain a safe distance between yourself and an unfriendly or attacking dog. You don't have to get close enough to a dog that you place yourself in danger.
To use the dog repeller, simply point the device towards the dog in question, and press the button. This foolproof method is great for carrying in your purse or pocket, especially if you go jogging or walking anywhere where a stray dog may come after you, or if your job routinely takes you near unfamiliar animals.
Some ultrasonic dog devices also contain LED lights. Besides being useful in a non-dog related emergency, these LED lights can also help to scare off a dog. A flashing LED light can temporarily confuse a dog, stopping them from advancing towards you.
Ultrasonic dog repellants are designed to stop attacking dogs, such as those you might find in your neighborhood or when out jogging. However, they are also useful tools for training dogs; they will stop the behavior immediately when they hear the high-pitched alarm you can set off using this device. If your dog keeps jumping on your furniture or otherwise going where he's not supposed to go, a quick press of the button on the dog repeller can train him not to repeat that action. If you have a problem with dogs digging through your garden or trash, try standing on your doorstep and pressing the button, causing them to run away from your yard.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you own a vacation home, then you certainly realize that your second home will be left unoccupied for large portions of the year. With no one around for months, how can you ensure that no one will break in? With horror stories of vacationers arriving at the start of what they hope will be a relaxing week off, only to realize that the front door is wide open and everything inside is gone, it's becoming more and more important to consider your vacation home's security.
Criminals love to prey on homes that they know will be unoccupied for a long period of time. During the off-season, burglars know that you probably won't return for months, giving them plenty of time to steal whatever they want without a fear of getting caught. Plus, many vacation homes are located in relatively isolated areas, or near other seasonally-occupied properties, meaning that there aren't even any neighbors around to stop them.
One of the biggest issues faced by those who have a vacation home is how to protect it when you're not there to enjoy it. This is especially true if you have a vacation home that is fully furnished and well equipped with electronics and outdoor toys such as boats or ATVs. Because many homeowners don't spend months at a time living in their vacation homes, they don't put a lot of thought into the necessary security precautions. The good news is that there are several easy ways to make your vacation residence unappealing to criminals.
1) Install security cameras and alarms. Install cameras or dummy cameras, along with door and window alarms, to scare away potential criminals. Some wireless surveillance cameras can even be watched over the internet, allowing you to keep an eye on your vacation spot when you're away. Be sure to post signs in prominent places on your property, such as near the front and back doors, warning potential criminals that your vacation home is protected by such systems. These visible deterrents can be a very effective measure for keeping your home safe while you're away, whether it is your primary residence or a vacation home.
2) Set timers for lights and sounds. To give the impression that there are people in the home, you can set your lights and TV on occasional timers so that they will turn on and off throughout the day. Also consider having one of the neighbors park in your driveway occasionally. Again, the goal is to make it appear that someone is always home, because criminals love to prey on unoccupied homes.
3) Ask neighbors to keep an eye on the home. If you do have year-round neighbors around your vacation home, have them keep an eye on people coming and going. You may even want to let them know when you will be staying in the home, so that they can alert the police if they see people lurking around the home when you're not there.
4) Secure all valuables. During the off-season, do you leave your ATVs sitting in the carport of your vacation home, or your boat tethered to the shore? Are the curtains open, giving potential thieves a good look at your great TV and anything else you keep in your vacation-home year round? Always make sure that such items are stored securely and protected with heavy-duty locks.

Many people don't realize how important it is to install security devices on their RV or motor home. Think about it just for a second- which makes a better target for thieves, an older-model car, or an expensive-looking motor home stocked with electronics, jewelry, and other high-value possessions? For a criminal, the choice is easy. How can you protect your RV from the range of security threats that may befall it?
First, install door and window alarms on all access points to the RV. These alarms will let off a loud beep when they are opened without first disarming them. This will quickly alert you to anyone trying to break in.
Although many people keep their RV near their home, others opt to keep it in a storage facility when not in use. Always investigate the security offered by the facility. Are identities checked before people are allowed to enter the storage area? Are there security officers who routinely patrol the RV storage area? For the best security, look for secure storage surrounded by high fences and protected with security cameras, bright security lights, and a gate that is passcode-protected.
RV security doesn't stop when you leave home. While traveling in your RV, there are additional security precautions to consider. Be very cautious where you choose to park your RV. Avoid staying overnight at rest stops, which tend to be deserted, making them an attractive place for criminals. If you stop at a rest stop, make it a short break during daylight hours. Lock the RV, even though you aren't going very far from it, and always leave someone in or close to the RV. Don't open the RV door for everyone, even if they are wearing an official-looking uniform.
Many RV travelers make the mistake of leaving their RV unlocked, and even the keys in the ignition and their wallet in the center console, when they get out at a gas station or rest stop. Remember, an RV is even less secure than your regular car because it is so attractive to thieves. Get in the habit of locking the door anytime you leave the RV.
This same principle applies to the RV when you have reached your destination. Whether you're in a deserted campground or a large RV park, everyone is a stranger. Your neighbors won't look twice at a stranger entering your RV, because they have no idea who belongs there and who doesn't. Whenever possible, travel in groups so that you'll have more people around to keep an eye on your RV and your belongings.
Even if your RV doors are locked and you don't see anyone suspicious around, keep the curtains or blinds closed, and all valuables out of sight. When you're camping, it's all too easy to leave your jewelry sitting on a counter in the RV, the door unlocked, and the window wide open. As much as we like to believe that campgrounds are 100% safe and secure, this is not a good idea. The same goes for any camping equipment that people often leave lying around outside their RV. These should all be kept inside the RV, with all doors to storage locked and alarmed.
Although RVs are statistically safer than a house or apartment, this doesn't mean that they are immune from the threat of break-ins. An RV typically has no security devices installed except for the lock on the door, which is all too often left unlocked. Consider these safety precautions whether traveling in your RV or storing it over the winter months.

CCTV, or a closed system television sytem, is a great way to monitor your home or business. With almost endless uses, a CCTV system allowy you to watch your family, employees, customers, and property. This is a practical investment that can protect those you love from harm and catch the perpetrators of any crimes that happen on your property.
In a closed circuit TV system, the system uses cameras that are linked together and feed information back to a central control. Today, there are multiple types of CCTV systems. Your first choice is between an analog and digital system. An analog system will record, through a television, onto a VHS tape. A digital video recorder will save the file in a format that can be read on computers. They can be stored on CDs, memory cards, or other digital media, and can be trasmitted across a network, or online, so that they can be watched remotely. Today there are digital CCTV systems that can be set up so that you can watch your property remotely, even when you're away on vacation.
Analog security systems rely on older technology, though this technology is certainly still effective today. With an analog CCTV system, the footage is recorded on a VHS. With most systems, only one camera's view will be recorded at a time. As a result, some moments may be missed on the VHS tape. On the other hand, an analog system can be simpler to operate, and many analog systems are cheaper than digital ones. As a result, analog remains a popular option for small businesses and for home installation.
A well-planned CCTV system can provide the extra layer of security you've been looking for. Before buying any CCTV components, you'll need to consider how many cameras you'll need and how long you plan to store the footage. Take a survey of the area where you plan to add surveillance, making a note of places where you plan to install a camera. The number of cameras required will affect the CCTV recording system you buy; some can handle 1-4 channels, while others are designed for 8 or more. The length of time you plan to keep the recordings will affect the amount of digital memory you'll need within the CCTV recording system.
When selecting cameras for the system, consider exactly what you're hoping to record. For example, some high-end cameras will aid in facial recognition or license plate recognition, while others are designed for a general overview of the area. In general, a wide-angle lens provides greater coverage, though in less detail than a narrow-angle lens, which focuses on a smaller area. There are also CCTV cameras designed for particular purposes, from a hidden camera to a dome camera, like the cameras often seen on the ceiling of retail locations. In low-light situations, you may need a camera equipped with IR technology.
With the above information in mind, hopefully you have a better idea of how to choose a CCTV system for your needs. There are many systems that are designed for home users and small businesses, and are ready to operate almost right out of the box. If you're looking to quickly and easily set up cameras to record the activities in your home or business, a CCTV system is an excellent option.

Article Title: Teen Crime Statistics

Crime statistics show that approximately one-third of all victims of violent crime are teenagers, between the ages of 12 and 19. Today, homicide is the second-leading cause of death for young adults, after car accidents. Each year, more than 1,500 murder victims are children and teens. While many people think that crime doesn't regularly befall children, as it's part of living in a "grown up" world, the statistics show that this is clearly not the case.
Teens are not only the victims of violent crime, but sometimes the perpetrators, too. Almost half of all violent crimes are committed by perpetrators under 25 years old. In 2006, 15% of all arrests were made on people under the age of 18, while more than 1,100 homicide suspects were under the age of 18. Children and teens regularly become both the victims and the perpetrators of violent crimes. When watching the nightly news, it's not uncommon to hear about the shooting death of a teen, or of a group of teens who are accused of assault.
Those who watch the news every night or read the daily newspaper front to back might notice that teens who choose to do positive things for the community almost never ends up as the leading story or on the front page news. Such news simply does not sell.
Many news shows, not to mention politicians, are obsessed with the teen crime rate. We hear in the news daily how crime is increasing dramatically in this age group. While these statistics may certainly be shocking, in actuality they have not changed dramatically over the past decades. In fact, crime statistics show that in reality, the youth of today are not any more criminally inclined than the generations before them. In fact, some crime statistics show that today's youth are even less likely to commit certain crimes, although the FBI statistics show that the teen crime rate is rising across some categories.
With that being said, the statistics certainly do show that all too often, teens are the perpetrators of both violent and non-violent crimes. Psychologists know that adolescents' brains are undeveloped, and too often, unsupervised kids are left to their own devices and make poor choices. Most teens' risky behavior, including not only criminal behaviors but also drinking, smoking, and other poor choices, tends to peak between the hours of 3:00 and 8:00pm. With no supervision or constructive activities during this time, the US Attorney's General's Office says, "we reap a massive dose of juvenile crime."
What can you do about the potential for teen crime? If you're the parent of a teen or preteen, practice "defensive parenting" by taking an approach that is both preventative and proactive. Keep teens occupied after school, and model good behavior. At the same time, recognize that they may also become the victim of a violent crime. Prepare them with pepper spray, personal alarms, and other devices, especially if you know they'll be out without adult supervision, such as at the mall or the skate park.
