Points of Crime Prevention
Purse Snatching  防止皮包被搶
  "Impossible! How could this happen to me..." is how most victims of purse-snatching start their stories. If you begin with the mindset, "They are after me.." and undertake some trifling anti-theft measures, you can reduce your chances of being victimized.

Points of Crime Prevention

• Hold your bag or luggage on the opposit side of the roadway.  緊抱你的包包，背在行走道路的相反另一側。
• Avoid walking on quiet back streets. Walk on busy main streets as much as possible.  不要在無人的小巷行走，盡量走在有人潮的主要幹道。
• Have a cover (crime prevention net, etc.) on the carrier or basket of your bicycle.  腳踏車提籃或袋子上加上覆蓋。
• Be careful of motorcycles and bicycles coming from behind you.  注意後方呼嘯而來的機車或腳踏車。
• Stop talking on the phone, or writing emails while walking; it is incredibly dangerous as it distracts you from your surroundings.  騎車開車不要講手機或寫 email, 這會讓你分心。

Bicycle / Motorcycle Theft

Points of Crime Prevention

• Attach multiple locks to your bike.
• When parking your motorcycle, do not forget to remove the ignition key, lock the handlebars, and place a wire lock (or a bar lock) on your motorcycle.
• Park your motorcycle in a designated parking place, not on the road.

Home Invaders

Points of Crime Prevention
Be sure to properly close your doors! Everything starts with being sure your doors are properly closed!

• Even if you are just stepping out for a second to throw out your garbage, be absolutely certain to close and lock your doors.
• Be sure that ALL entrances to your property are shut, including even small windows (like the one in many bathrooms).
• Even if it is "just the balcony", you must lock and shut it; no exceptions!
• Before going out or going to sleep, inspect each door and window and ensure that they are all locked and closed.

The Building Perimeter  住宅犯罪預防

• Maintain a mesh-type fence that ensures an unobstructed view of the surroundings
• Trim all shrubs to make sure there is no hiding place for suspicious people.
• Install sensor lighting to automatically illuminate dark places when someone enters your secure perimeter.
• Increase your surveillance ability by installing security cameras.
• Keep a dog and spread gravel around your secure perimeter; the gravel will produce noise, and the dog will make it difficult for them to get near your property.  養一條狗，並在房子四周鋪上碎石，碎石走過會產生噪音，狗可以協助警戒。
• Leaving nothing outside that could be used to penetrate your secure perimeter (Garbage cans, ladders)  房屋周圍不要放置可以拿來破壞侵入你的防護物(例如垃圾桶、梯子)。

The Entrance ⁄ Kitchen Door ⁄ Etc...

• Switch the door and locks with anti-theft material that is difficult to destroy.
• Keep a light by your gate, and turn it on regularly when it becomes dark.
• Don't let them know you are away by letting the newspaper ⁄ mail pile up in the mailbox.

Windows ⁄ Sash

• Use anti-theft glass that is difficult to destroy
• Apply anti-theft film to existing glass to increase the difficulty in burglarizing your property.
• Install a Sash lock
• Waist-high windows should be fitted with crystal-lattice patterning.
• Install an auxiliary lock in addition to the normal crescent lock. This auxiliary should ideally be located above and below the sash
• Install a window buzzer that sounds an alarm if the glass is broken.

Sex Crimes  性犯罪預防

Molester
When you return to the house.

• Even if it is longer, take a bright road with more people on it.
• Stop talking on the phone, or listening to music through earphones while walking; it is incredibly dangerous as it distracts you from your surroundings.
• If it is very late, have someone from home meet you at the station or call a taxi.
• Just in case, keep a crime-prevention buzzer in your bag and carry it in your hand while walking.

For girls living alone  獨居女子進入房內
When entering the house.

• Before opening the door, pay careful attention to make sure there are no suspicious persons in your vicinity.  打開門時注意附近是否有可疑人徘徊。
• When opening the door, swiftly dash inside and immediately lock the door behind you.  開門之後立即衝進房內並將門鎖好。
• Be sure to say "I'm home" in a loud voice if you are returning home.  大聲的說'我回來了'

Before Sleeping  睡覺前

• Make sure that the door and easy-to-enter locations are closed and locked.  將所有容易進入的門窗鎖上
  *Even the balcony should be closed; there are examples of people entering from the balcony, even when it is one floor up.   陽台門窗鎖好。

For Visitors..

• Confirm the identity of the visitor before opening the door.
• Talk to the person without removing the door chain.
  * ( If the person claims to be from a delivery company, confirm the sender and the item being delivered )
