Stalking Safety Tips For Women
Stalking is defined as the intentional, unlawful and repeated harassment and/or following of a person, which causes that person to be in reasonable fear that he/she may be injured. Stalking may start out with repeated unwanted contacts, including calls, visits, and gifts. Stalking may include harassment, threats, or obscenity – in person, by phone, via the internet, or in writing. Stalking may escalate quickly and without provocation or encouragement by the victim. A small percentage of stalkers follow celebrities or strangers, but the majority of perpetrators stalk someone with whom they have had a past or present relationship. If you think you are being stalked:- Report the activity to the police.
- Send a clear message to the person that the relationship is over. Do not be ambivalent.
- Attempt to avoid all contact with the stalker.
- Keep an accurate journal of all incidents such as sighting (include date and time), contacts, phone calls, written correspondence, and unusual incidents that may be connected.
- Keep all letters, packages, and taped phone messages.
- Trace all phone calls per telephone company instructions.
- Inform family, friends, neighbors, managements, co-workers and workplace security. Have them notify you or the police if they are contacted or followed by the stalker.
- Be careful about your surroundings when alone.
Campus Safety For Women Starts With Taking A RAD Self-Defense Class

Ladies - Are you looking forward to your 2008-2009 college year as an exciting adventure? Is this your first year of college..or are you a seasoned college veteran? What a great time to be going to college - learning about new things, meeting new friends, and experiencing one of the greatest times of your life.
As a concerned parent who had both a son and daughter go through college, my suggestion for young ladies as they start the new school year is to check with your college/university to see if they offer RAD Self-Defense training and sign up. The class is about 4-weeks long and 2-3 hours one night a week. You learn about personal safety tactics, common sense awareness and self-defense techniques, and how to defend and protect yourself if attacked or assaulted. The more you know about defending yourself the safer you will be. Read more
Simulation Night For Our RAD Self-Defense Class
Tonight - Tuesday, 3-25-08 - was the last of our RAD Self-Defense class held at the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department in Elkhart, Indiana. (Although I was able to videotape some of the ladies in class, I forgot that we are not able to put the videos on youtube or our website). The last night is known as "simulation". This is where you have scenario-type situations set up in which you will be attacked by a perpetrator. The ladies in this class seemed pretty excited about our last night…maybe even a little apprehensive because we were all unsure of exactly what would happen and how we would respond using the self-defense techniques we learned over the last (3) weeks.

Women’s Self-Defense Verbal Skills- Develop an Assertive Attitude
Shihan Michael Pace
Sometimes women can be too nice to people they don’t know. Women usually don’t want to be considered rude or loud, so when there’s a confrontation of some sort may tend to demonstrate a passive attitude. If a perpetrator is confronting you, he may be checking your reactions to see how you respond. He may be looking for a potential victim who appears weak–not strong. And he certainly doesn’t want one who is willing to fight him should he attack. Read more
