Abstract
A CASSETTE-TAPE IS COUPLED WITH A PROGRAMMED LEARNING RESPONSE BOOKLET TO DESCRIBE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES WHICH MAY BE TAKEN TO AVOID INVOLVEMENT WITH CRIMINALS AND RECOMMEND ACTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS ENDANGERED IN VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTS AND SITUATIONS. THE NARRATION EXAMINES THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE CRIMINAL AND THE VICTIM, FOCUSING ON CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS SUCH AS RAPE, ROBBERY, AND ASSAULT. METHODS OF PROTECTING THE HOME AND PERSONAL PROPERTY ARE DISCUSSED. THIS EDUCATIONAL TOOL IS SIMPLE TO USE, EASILY UNDERSTOOD, AND SHOULD PROVE EFFECTIVE FOR USE BY POLICE COMMUNITY RELATIONS UNITS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH ORGANIZED COMMUNITY ACTIONS PROGRAMS, AND BY INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS.
