FILM DRAMATIZATION ON HOW INDIVIDUALS CAN PROTECT BOTH THEMSELVES AND THEIR PROPERTY AGAINST INTRUDERS.
Abstract
THREE AREAS ARE EMPHASIZED IN THIS FILM - AUTOMOBILE THEFT, SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR WOMEN, AND SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES AND OTHER CRIMES. DEPICTED IS HOW AN INTRUDER OR BURGLAR CAN BE FRUSTRATED BY SIMPLE SECURITY DEVICES, SOME HOMEMADE OR QUITE INEXPENSIVE. IT ALSO POINTS OUT HOW JUST ONE CARELESS ACTION OR ONE INADEQUATELY PROTECTED POINT OF ENTRY CAN ALLOW AN INTRUDER TO PENETRATE A HOME.
