Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'dead weight' self-defense tactic?

The 'dead weight' tactic involves going limp, similar to a toddler resisting, to make it difficult for an attacker to drag or physically move you. This can deter abduction attempts by increasing the effort required from the assailant.

Why is refusing to move to a 'second location' important in self-defense?

Moving to a 'second location' drastically increases danger as it removes you from potential witnesses and public view, giving the attacker more control. Staying put, even under duress, maintains potential for escape or intervention.

How does 'niceness culture' impact self-defense?

'Niceness culture' can hinder effective self-defense by making individuals hesitant to set firm boundaries or react assertively to threats, potentially escalating dangerous situations.

What role can OC spray play in self-defense?

OC spray (pepper spray) is a non-lethal tool that can create distance and temporary incapacitation, allowing a victim to escape or de-escalate a confrontation before it becomes physically violent or requires lethal force.
