On today’s Personal Safety, Assistant Instructor of Women’s Empowerment Program at Manchester Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Christine Sorice, joined Lori to discuss Non-Stranger Strategies. They started off with a recap of last weeks Triangle of Victimization, which consists of the Predator, Opportunity, and Target. They continued with Stranger Strategies, and how to be aware and handle yourself in uncomfortable situations.
Next, Christine told us non-stranger predators can be family members or someone you know who is familiar to you. She expounded on the three phases a non-stranger will victimize someone. They also highlighted the emotional and mental aspects, and how to avoid being a victim. Finally, they discussed circumstances surrounding the manipulation of an attacker, statistics, levels of violence, remaining calm, and the importance of practicing how we would respond to a perpetrator. Listen in and hear more about it!
