Many assaults occur at night, especially when a women is by herself. For this reason it is important for a woman to always have a safety plan in mind, especially if she knows that she will be out alone.It is always good to have a friend around, especially in cases that it is late at night. Assaults almost always happen to women that are alone or in isolated areas. Having a friend cuts down tremendously on assaults. Defense mechanisms can also help in assault cases. These are some of the few things that can be done to preventing/ cutting down on assault.
