It's easy to fall into the trap of preparing for the 'Bogey Man';
the unknown criminal who intends us harm.
The majority of violent assaults, however, occur between people who are at least acquainted with each other.
Without wishing to state the obvious (sometimes it needs stating!), our social circle, our habits, the way we communicate and present ourselves in the world, where we live and who we talk to have the greatest influence on the risks we face.

'Good security is a lifestyle choice; not just an emergency measure against criminal assault.'
