My daughter was assaulted at knife point in the very same university building where I have taught Humanities classes for eight years. I was taught a hard lesson that day in the need to prevent crime against college students.
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.
Prior to her going to university, we talked about how to prevent crime against college students. Since then, she's always had different protective gadgets and even pepper spray.
Trying to fool the aggressor, she said that her money was in her pocket. With a quick motion, she had her pepper spray out and wielded it desperately. Luckily, she knew how to use this particular weapon.
When the attacker had spray in his eyes, she rushed in the direction of the front entryway. She also activated the personal alarm she had while she searched for a guard she knew would be there, being alert to prevent crime 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.
