You are correct that I live in the US. How you were able to misconstrue the article to suggest that I am speaking of a fight fire with fire approach and use children on a playground to illustrate such, is mind boggling. I am saying, if one finds themselves out in public, to be alert and aware of potential dangers and have a plan of escape (or confront, when absolutely necessary). This is an encapsulation of one of the chapters in my book, “Situational Awareness for Women - Safer Daily Living”. Sadly, I do see women and girls consistently being unaware of their surroundings and becoming victims of opportunistic bad actors. If you’ve ever been a victim of a crime, it’s not your fault, but you can take measures to minimize the potential of it happening, regardless of where you are in the world.
As stated in my article, Cooper’s Color Code was originally designed for law enforcement agencies, so it’s written with that audience in mind. However, any time one is out in public, a heightened level of awareness is necessary for prevention of becoming a victim of opportunistic bad actors.
