With so many persons, both men and women, disappearing across North America these is often wonder how much of this could be prevented if the person had been more aware of their surroundings - namely dangers from predators who often watch potential victims for some time before striking.
When I started teaching a course for prospective security guards I quickly learned that most persons go through the day going from point A to point B without noticing very much about their surroundings. At the start of each class I usually tell the students that at the end of the week I will be asking them to describe somebody in the class as well as the stairwell leading up to the classroom.
Most fail miserably at this.
And this is something you see in everyday life as well. Stand on any street corner and you'll notice just how many persons are so caught up in cell phone conversations or their efforts to get where they are going that they don't have a clue who they just past or who is sitting in a car beside them.
As many predators observe you for some time to plan if, how, and where they are going to attack you this tendency of most of us creates many easy targets for these criminals.
