Crime-Safety-Security Newsletter 13 May 2008
Newsletter issue #9for women, parents, seniors, and crime survivorsLearning from VictimsCONTENTSDomestic Violence & Safe Rooms~~~~~~~~~~~~~INSIDE THE CRIME NEWS
Sanctuary projects will provide victims of domestic abuse with a refuge similar to that used by Jodie Foster in the film Panic Room where they can hide if their violent partners return. A room, usually the main bedroom, is provided with a mixture of security measures including a reinforced door, a spy hole, an escape ladder and window locks. Excerpted from The Hampstead & Highgate Express (UK) – 03 March 2006 Using the bedroom itself as a safe room may be a poor choice because both the victim and abuser may already be in the bedroom when the violence begins. A better choice for a battering victim might be a safe closet (either within the bedroom or elsewhere in the home). A safe room (or closet) can also protect you from burglars and home invaders.
