The first two parts of the video consist primarily of a lecture by Detective J.J. Bittenbinder before a group of teens and preteens. The first part focuses on "street safety," primarily strategies for avoiding kidnapping by strangers from public places. Bittenbinder advises that many dangerous criminals appear to be like anyone else, such that children and youth must avoid being enticed by any strangers into vehicles or areas where they can be controlled by them. He describes various techniques used by potential molesters to isolate and gain control of their victims. Children and youth are instructed to run away from any stranger who attempts to entice them from a public place. The group is also instructed to tell parents or other adults about suspicious behavior or attempts at molestation. Advice is also provided on strategies for protecting oneself when riding on a bus alone, being home alone, and being confronted by another person with a weapon. Part II of the lecture focuses on the importance of protecting oneself from involvement in gangs and drugs. Bittenbinder's emphasis is on the deadly and tragic consequences of joining gangs and abusing illicit drugs. Part III consists of a discussion between Bittenbinder and members of a group of parents and kids. The discussion emphasizes the importance of communication and positive interaction between parents and their children as a means of cultivating values and using strategies to prevent criminal victimization and criminal behavior.
