Being prepared and always being aware of your surroundings is the best way to remain safe on or off-campus. Evey fall, parents pack their daughter for college and hope they’re leaving her in a safe environment. Unfortunately, safety on university campuses especially in an urban community isn’t always insured. University campuses can be the site of sexual crimes and violent attacks against female students among other issues. Frequently rapes occur off campus, in off-campus student housing. Rape represents a huge safety concern on college campuses today. According to the 2009 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week Resource Guide, 12% of college women reported being raped in 2009, and 20% reported being harassed or stalked. Other college crimes such as robberies, battery and aggravated assault are also a growing problem. Something as inexpensive as a $10 key chain Wildfire Pepper Spray can provide you the few seconds needed to escape an attack or abduction and run to safety. Our goal is not to scare or alarm female students but keep you from becoming victims.
Crime Is Real, Don’t Be a Victim!
