With more women more active, running, jogging, biking and being outside at early and late times of the day, there’s more exposure to the possibility of assault or attack.

As gas prices continue to soar more women will be using public transportation, walking or using alternative methods to get to work – such as bicycles or motorcycles. Each of those methods also means more exposure to potential attack. As the economy gets worse more women will be working longer hours, maybe working two jobs and often traveling more between those jobs and home.
