Refuse To Be A Victim® Seminars teach methods to avoid dangerous situations and prevent 

criminal confrontations.  Experts agree the most important factor in surviving a criminal attack is 

to have an overall safety strategy before you need it.  Seminar topics address personal safety 

issues as well as home, automobile, telephone, technological, and travel security.  Seminar 

participants are presented with a variety of commonsense crime prevention and personal safety 

strategies and devices they may integrate into their daily lives.  

 

Refuse To Be A Victim® was developed by the National Rifle Association in 1993 in response to 

nationwide requests for crime prevention seminars. The program has been endorsed by members 

of the law enforcement community nationwide, such as Janice Hart, Certified Crime Prevention 

Specialist and Refuse To Be A Victim® Certified Instructor of Front Royal, Virginia.  She said, 

"Crime Prevention is everyone's responsibility. Taking care of one's self is the priority. The skills 

taught in the Refuse To Be A Victim® course will help to prevent personal attacks and keep our 

communities safer. Refuse To Be A Victim® is the best personal safety and awareness program 

I have come across in my Crime Prevention career."

 

The program is appropriate for teenagers and up. With more than four thousand instructors, 

seminars have been held in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Costa 

Rico, and Trinidad and Tobago.  Almost a 100 thousand men and women have benefited from 

the program and its life saving message.
