Second Crime scene- situational awareness (Personal Security Training)

 

 

Criminals escorting victims to a second crime scene is a tactic used by perpetrators to commit additional crimes or cover up the initial crime. It can be frightening and dangerous for the victim, as they may feel powerless and unsure how to escape or fight back.

To avoid being taken to a second crime scene, there are a few steps that you can take. First and foremost, being aware of your surroundings and trusting your instincts is vital. If you feel like something is off or dangerous, taking action and getting to a safe place as quickly as possible is critical.

If you are being escorted by a criminal, trying and finding an opportunity to escape is essential. Look for a chance to break free or run for help. If you are in a public place, try to attract other people’s attention by yelling or making noise.

If you cannot escape, remain calm and remain as composed as possible. Do not resist the perpetrator or try to fight back unless necessary, as this could potentially escalate the situation and put you in even more danger.

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to fight back, it is crucial to use any available weapons or objects to defend yourself. This could include pepper spray, a pen, a pencil, or a cell phone. Aim for vulnerable areas such as the eyes, nose, or throat, and do everything possible to get away as quickly as possible.

It is also important to remember that you are not alone. There are resources available to help victims of crime, including hotlines, shelters, and support groups. Reach out for help as soon as possible, and do not be afraid to seek the support you need.

In conclusion, being taken to a second crime scene by a criminal can be a terrifying experience. Still, you can avoid it and fight back if necessary. Stay alert and aware of your surroundings, and do not hesitate to seek help if needed.
