Women, Always Take Threats and Stalking Seriously
By Liza Cooper | October 9, 2009
A common crime against women involves threats and threatening behavior by an attacker. While men commit most crimes against women, threats can come from other women as well. Your chances of resisting an attack by a woman are much more in your favor, but when a man threatens you, the situation can certainly change quickly.
Always, always, take threats seriously. It may be hard for you to realize that your life is actually in danger but, if someone is making credible threats, you must take steps to protect yourself. Most victims of domestic violence who are murdered (or murder is attempted) by their abusers were stalked, sometimes for days, sometimes for months, before the lethal attack. If your life is being threatened, you should consider yourself a stalking target, and take steps to protect yourself.
