Stop Crime Against College Students
A harrowing experience helped me discover that there was an urgent necessity to prevent crime against college students. For eight years, I thought of the university where I educated others in Humanities as secure. But my own daughter was threatened with a knife in that very same place.
She was accosted by a complete stranger in one of the restrooms, demanding money for her life. She had gone quite early, ahead of a 7 AM class, and while she prayed for someone to walk in on them, no one came.
My girl did carry papery spray as well as other defensive gadgets ever since we explored ways to prevent crime against college students before she attended college.
She made an excuse that she had to reach into her pocket to get her money. Then, she took out her pepper spray and used it with vigor. It’s a good thing she had mastered using the defense spray.
As soon as the spray hit the man, she triggered her personal alarm, racing through the corridor to the guard she hoped was on the lookout trying to prevent crimes against college students.
He was caught and questioned quickly. It was discovered that he needed the cash to get some hallucinogens. It is because of these illegal drugs that I am adamant that the younger generation look into obtaining some tools to safeguard themselves.
I gave her a lift to the university then and even had my stun gun with me. Only, I was already en route to the professors’ lounge on the third floor at the moment of the attack.
After that, I made it a point to stress the importance of having tools to prevent crime against college students in all classes I had. My syllabus in Humanities might not cover this topic but I’m sure it’s crucial to human beings all the same.
