Crime Prevention – What is Predator Behavior?
By Liza Cooper | October 18, 2009
If crime prevention professionals advise you to watch for predators, then how do you spot one? What is predator behavior?
A predator or would-be criminal will stop and look around for witnesses. They will often make several passes by the prey in a sort of ‘dry run,’ seeing if the victim will react or to get a sense of how the attack might work. Pay attention! Who is looking at you? Has the same person or car passed by you twice? Does someone appear to be moving with you?
Sometimes your intuition will pick up on it before you do unconsciously. So pay attention if you have a ‘funny’ feeling about walking down a certain block or turning a corner.
