	Preventing violence requires having the confidence to put your individual safety above all else. It also entails helping out the people you care about if your suspicions alert you to something unsettling. Sometimes we don't think about violence until after it happens - we start to think retrospectively and believe we could have done things differently to change the outcome. Abuse often comes without warning and we as humans can only do so much to protect ourselves and those we care about. There are, however, several things you can do to help lessen the chance that a crime will be committed. Stay alert but relaxed. Learn about these preventive measures and know what to do if a crime is imminent.
