(# ^ Continued from Page 23 Schroeder was apprehended Police suspect Schroeder of commiting a large number of the rapes reported in the neighborhood But Maclean credits much of the 91 percent de crease between 1978 ancHast year to "the process of people putting in locks and the publicity of people locking up their houses.” Based on a book titled, "Are You A Target,” the west University neighborhood's self-defense classes "really get into the philosophy of rape,” Maclean says Women attending the classes learn to break evident patterns that rapists follow "Almost all rapists will test someone,” Maclean explains. "The testing could be an hour to several days, a month. Our goal is basically to teach women how not to be victims And that's more than just physical defense " The classes involve " a lot of psychology, a lot of information they need to get, a lot of myths they need to have dispelled "Instead of having your first reaction be fear, have it be anger That's a learned thing "Women have a hesitancy to yell and scream and shout,” Maclean says So classes practice yelling to break down those inhibitions "The advanced class is more physical and less the ry All the target points are learned and how to go for them All human beings, no matter how big or small, have definite vulnerable spots, " Maclean says It also gives instruction on dealing with what do do if the attacker has a weapon But how far an individual goes into combat instruction is a personal decision, she adds To respond to an individual in trouble, WUN has initiated a Safehouse program "This program utilizes neighborhood households as designated safe' houses that are prepared to render short-term emergency assistance to victims or those in fear of crime," according to a Safehouse newsletter A yellow Safehouse sign is hung in the window of designated houses Thirty-five such signs hang in the Whiteaker neighborhood, where reported rapes have dropped by 40 percent since the 1980 implementation of a Safehouse program there Safehouse participants are trained by the Rape Crisis Network The program originated as a rape prevention effort But "safe" houses are prepared to render short-term emergency assistance to anyone victimized by or in fear of crime, says Edelka Shawn, Safehouse staffperson A Safehouse member has the choice to either let someone in or just make a phone call, Shawn says The visibility of the program also acts as a deterrent to property crimes such as vandalism and burglary, Safehouse literature claims. Maclean expects Safehouse to begin in the Univer sity neighborhood during November To further anti-crime visibility and awareness, the west University neighborhood is also participating in the formation of a city-wide neighborhood watch or ganization Whether police will be able to implement it is questionable because of recent personnel reductions in the COP team, Maclean says Those reductions came as a result of cuts in this year’s city budget. But the cuts haven’t dampened the enthusiasm of COP team officer April Norman, who believes that trained neighborhood volunteers could conduct home security checks as part of the program, leaving the two-officer COP team (which once numbered five Continued on Page 25 r GLENWOOD FURNITURE fcfg Welcome Back Students!
