Primal Rage - safety for women. What to do when someone starts yelling at or threatening you.

This instance stopped short of murder, but roughly one-third of all murders begin with a trivial squabble. These crimes are classified as Rage Disorder or Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM RAGE DISORDER

See bizarre examples at Crimes of Passion – and learn how to avoid becoming a statistic. Also find personal security tips at Road Rage. Think twice before clashing with anyone. Then think again.
Primal rage includes road rage, domestic abuse, lack of impulse control, angry fits, temper tantrums, and breaking or throwing things. Having foul moods, getting easily annoyed, being quick to anger - all can simmer until the final straw explodes into rage - which can lead to violence, lawsuits, and jail or prison.
