Date rape

Sexual assault, in which the victim is psychologically pressured, drugged or


sedated before the rape. Date rape is so-named because it often involves
a dating couple. The male may spike a female's alcoholic beverage,
making her unable to resist his advances or even unable to remember the rape.
Would-be date rapists have used sleeping pills to sedate their intended
victims. In addition to adding sleep-inducing medications to alcohol,
date rapists also have combined them with marijuana, cocaine and other drugs.

Tips.
Rape prevention tips.

Get a peephole. If you don't already have one, get a peephole


put into your door so you can see who is outside. Never
open your door for anyone until you know who is on the other side.

An attacker expects a passive victim, so if you walk slowly


or in a daze, you will seem vulnerable to a potential rapist.
Walk at a steady pace, appear confident and purposeful.

All entrances and garages should be well-lit. You should always


keep one light on inside the house at night and when in public,
try to avoid dark and deserted areas. Stay where there is
plenty of light.
Do not walk alone or take short take short cuts where you would
be in a deserted area. You should always try to be where there are plenty
of people around.

Walk near the curb and avoid passing close to shrubbery,


dark doorways and other places of concealment

Do not hitchhike and never pick up hitchhikers.

If a car approaches you and you feel threatened, scream and run
in the direction opposite of the one the car is going. If you are
in your car and a vehicle pulls in behind you and you do not
know the individual blow your car horn to attract attention. m 

  
 
 
 
 
When approaching your car in a parking lot, look around the area for
anything that does not look right. If you see anything that looks
suspicious near your car, keep going and call the police as
soon as possible.

Do not be afraid to report an incident because your suspicions might


be wrong. It's better to be over-suspicious than to be a victim.

Keep your property well manicured and maintained, especially entrance


ways and exits to eliminate criminals from hiding in such spots.
Be aware of possible hiding spots where ever you may travel
to avoid surprise attacks. Put thorny bushes under bedroom windows
and near entrances and exits

It's smart to keep a cell phone nearby just in case a criminal cuts or
disconnects your phone line. It's also handy to have so you can call
the police from your car or other area.
Conclusion

Stop rape case. We must do our best to


decrease and stop this crime. We deserve to
live in a safe and happy society.
