There is this famous saying, "prevention is better than cure." Same goes true with the crime of the society. Prevention of crime is more important than fighting the actual happening of a criminal incidence. Due attention is needed to be given on the subject of self defense. Most people do not give proper importance to this important aspect in their daily life and fall prey to the criminal mishaps. According to a recent study, 3 offenses on property are taking place in every 10 seconds and a home is assailed by burglars in every 15 to 20 seconds. More than a dozed people become the victims of physical violence every hour.

There are certain regulations of primary self defense that may resist the oncoming trouble. Women staying alone are more vulnerable in this regard and should take up the matter more seriously. It is always better to be well prepared and equipped with the proper knowledge and tools to safeguard against the criminal miss happenings.

Awareness: Be alert and keep a watch of your vicinity. Keep a notice of the events in your surroundings and especially about the people who are new to your area. They may be the new owner of your neighboring house or the tenants. Enquire about the self defense tools available in your area and identification of the most suitable one to be used against any attacks. Small places have very little episodes of violence, keep an eye on it. It will be better to use concealed cameras in your house to estimate the risk factor to your own house. It will give you an idea of movement pattern and visitors to your house. It is understandable that a home having some kind of surveillance system is safer and is unlikely to be the target of the burglars.

Tools: Be well equipped with as many self defense tools as possible. This may sound weird but believe me you will thank me for this piece of advise later. Accumulate all the information about the gadgets of self defense and understand them completely so that you can use them in a correct way when they are needed. You will be better off with personal alarm system, pepper sprays, stun guns and teasers and so on to get yourself ready to thwart any attack of violence. Maintain the tools so that they remain in excellent working order for use at the time of need. Go through the instruction booklet available with the tools and follow them for use at the critical time. You must make yourself well acclimatized with the tools so that you do not make a mess of it at the time of actual happenings. Get a personal door alarm along with a home security system fitted in your house. Maintain the defense system and weapons usable at all times.

Confidence: Being confident is the key. Be confident especially when you encounter those anti-social elements of the society. You need to be confident about your own security. The addition of self defense tools should enhance the degree of this ability in you. You must be confident to use the tools in emergency. Don't worry, it should be clear to you that the pepper spray, teaser, the stun gun and other tools of this nature are effective for a temporary period and will not make any permanent injury to the criminal. It is used only for self defense and not for inflicting an injury to the attacker. Your main intention should be to ascertain your personal safety and protection at the cost of a temporary disability to the attacker.

The self defense tools are the means to empower people and help them to guard themselves and their loved ones against the crimes of the society. I have met many people who advocate that these self defense tools have been playing role in increasing the violence in the society. This is all rubbish! Crime will persist in the society with or without these tools. But such tools will help the common man to curb the crime of the society. It would be stupid if you don't use them. Such gazettes actually help you survive violent attacks.
The use of many such devices is however restricted by the government in many places. This takes care of the issue of their misuse. So the point is why to allow yourself to be the victim if you have the options available? Moreover, the mere knowledge that you are well equipped to handle a crime deters the criminal from attacking. So go ahead, it is always better to protect yourself than to depend on others to protect you. You are helping the society in combating crime that way!
