Learning from Victims

In Batehaven, Australia, Tracey Pratt bludgeoned her elderly neighbors Ken and Margaret Keyte to death for setting a rabbit trap that had captured her cat.

Our pets are precious to us, but now Tracey Pratt is in prison where no pets are allowed. Roughly one-third of all homicides result from rather minor altercations escalating into violence.

See examples of the most trivial conflicts that have resulted in murder – and how to try to avoid being on either end of them:

• Losing It: little things that escalate - workplace-safety-losing-it

A woman was riding on a bike path in Lansingburgh NY when Stephen Pluff, riding in the opposite direction, reached his arm out, knocked her down, and raped her.

Crime strikes like lightening from out of the blue when you least expect it. There is no such thing as location immunity. See Outdoor Safety - Force Predators
