I just read a very interesting U.S. News article about cyberbullying among school-aged kids. Cyberbullying refers to the use of internet or other technology to repeatedly hurt or embarrass someone. According to one study in the article, 43% of students in middle school and high school have experienced cyberbullying. Cyberbullying has many harmful effects in… Read More

One issue we have addressed many times on this blog is teen violence. Troubled teens often put themselves and others at risk. Even when these teens do not purposely turn to violence, they may get themselves into situations that risk their safety. One solution for troubled teens is to send them to military school. That’s… Read More
Violent Crime Prevention Most Effective
As a society, we have a desire to drastically reduce violent crime and victimization. Unfortunately, the war on crime has not resulted in much success. I think we can most effectively reduce violent crime and victimization through prevention. We do need to use physical force to defend people when a criminal attacks or attempts to… Read More

Politicians Ignore Violent Crime
Have you noticed how little attention violent crime has received in national political campaigns? Presidential candidates seem to only give attention to one very specific type of violent crime: terrorism. However, more people in the United States die from regular old murder than from terrorist attacks. If these politicians truly want to protect us, then… Read More

Do Not Leave Valuables In Your Car
I just read an article about a man who left his wallet and some other stuff in his car while at dinner. Thieves stole his stuff and used his credit cards to charge $2,500 before he even knew. The main lesson is to not leave valuables in the car. I would hope that the credit… Read More
Comments On The Anti-Rape Female Condom
I recently posted about an anti-rape female condom, which is basically a latex tube with shafts of sharp, inward-facing plastic barbs. Women can wear it in their vagina like a tampon, and it would hook onto the penis of any attackers. Ideally, the pain would give the victim a chance to escape and would help… Read More
Self-Defense Classes in Grade School
I do not remember ever having any self-defense conferences or events while in grade school. We had a lot of conferences, some memorable ones about fire safety or not dropping out, but none about self-defense. I would like to see self-defense conferences at schools. From elementary school all the way through high-school, I think such… Read More
