NUMEROUS VIGNETTES DEPICT EXAMPLES OF TECHNIQUES USED BY ROBBERS ATTEMPTING TO GAIN ENTRANCE TO A VICTIM'S HOME. THE VIEWER IS URGED TO BE SUSPICIOUS OF STRANGERS SEEKING INFORMATION AND ADVISED TO ALWAYS ASK FOR IDENTIFICATION. ONE SCENE DEALS WITH A BREAK-IN, WHILE THE VICTIM IS IN BED. THE HOMEOWNER IN THIS SITUATION SHOULD EITHER LOCK THE BEDROOM DOOR, SET OFF AN ALARM, QUIETLY CALL THE POLICE, OR FEIGN SLEEP. CONFRONTATION WITH THE INTRUDER SHOULD BE AVOIDED, BUT IF IT OCCURS, COOPERATION IS THE SAFEST BEHAVIOR. PAUSES IN THE PRESENTATION ALLOW FOR VIEWER DISCUSSION. THIS PRESENTATION IS INTENDED TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH TWO SIMILAR TITLES AS PART OF AN INTEGRATED PROGRAM TO EDUCATE ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS IN WAYS TO REDUCE CRIME AND THE FEAR IT PRODUCES. FOR THE OTHER MATERIALS, WHICH DEAL WITH ASSAULT AND BURGLARY, SEE NCJ-38534 AND 38535 RESPECTIVELY....BLU
