RADIO PROGRAM NO. 244 - Finding Protection on the Streets

Announcer: If you have to be out on the streets late at night or if your business takes you into sections with a high rate of crime, where do you look for your protection?

Questioner: There seems to be widespread fear of going out on the streets, especially at night. Is there something constructive an individual can do to protect himself other than just carrying protective weapons for counterviolence?

Speaker: I think we all face these situations at times. There certainly is need of better protection. But I wonder if it doesn't go back to reliance on something more basic than simply slum clearance, or better police methods, or improved street lighting—desirable as these things are.
