You can prevent crime by being aware of your environment and remaining alert to situations that make you vulnerable. The following are just a few examples of how you can do this in your daily life.
保护你自己
在步行
- 如果可能的话，永远不要独自行走.
- 如果你找不到人陪你走, contact the 公共安全和警察局 at 410-777-1818 for an escort.
- 如果你非要一个人走, 走在光线充足的路上, 人迹罕至的人行道，提前计划好路线. Avoid places where attackers might hide (spaces between parked cars, 杂草丛生的灌木, and dark passageways) and areas where you might get cornered. 记住，最好是面对交通.
- If anyone follows you, look confident and let him or her know you are aware of their presence. 不要客气，也不要参与谈话.
- If they continue to follow you, cross the street and/or change directions.
- 如果这不起作用, walk toward other people or occupied buildings and stay away from places where you might get cornered.
- If someone in a car follows you and is persistent or becomes obscene, write down the license number and report it to the 公共安全和警察局 as soon as possible.
开车时
- If someone follows you and is persistent or becomes obscene, write down the license number and report it to the appropriate police agency or the 公共安全和警察局 as soon as possible.
- If you are trapped in your car, honk your horn in quick short bursts. 这会引起人们的注意.
- Make sure that all of the car doors are locked whenever you leave your vehicle.
- 当你回到车上时, have your keys ready so you can enter your car quickly and be aware of your surroundings. 如果你要在钱包或口袋里找的话, it takes extra time and you lose sight of what is around you, 这会让别人偷袭你吗.
- As you approach your car, look underneath to make sure no one is hiding there. Before you enter your car look to see if all of the doors are locked or if there are any uninvited passengers in the back seat or on the floor. If your door locks are not the way you left them or you see someone inside, leave the area as quickly as possible and notify the 公共安全和警察局.
- 不要让搭便车的人上车.
在公共汽车和地铁上
- 使用光线充足、繁忙的站点.
- 保持警惕! 不要打瞌睡或做白日梦.
工作到很晚
- Let someone know where you will be working an when you anticipate returning home. Make sure your family and friends know the work number where you can be reached. Call when you reach your workstation and once again just before leaving to go home.
- Carry a portable, battery-powered high decibel alarm device or a loud whistle.
- Carry a small pocket flashlight in your purse or on a key ring, and try to park in well lighted areas and walk along lit walkways.
- Carry your keys and access cards in your hand when you are approaching the appropriate doors, 保持它们随时可用. 确保上锁的门关闭并锁在你身后.
- 下班后把你的工作站或办公室锁上.
- When returning to your vehicle, watch for suspicious persons nearby and have your keys in your hand. 上车前检查一下车的内部.
