            In my first article on crime, I urged you to accept the reality of the criminal threat and to mentally choose not to allow yourself to be easily victimized.  Hopefully you're reading this second article because you've sworn off the denial, distraction, and passivity that characterizes most people and decided to do whatever you reasonably can to protect yourself, your family, and your home.  If this mindset of yours is authentic and deeply felt, you're more than halfway to your goal.

            Your next step is to form a self-protection plan. Helping you do that is the purpose of this second post. "Self-protection" is too large of a subject for one article, so I've narrowed it down to something you can reasonably take on in the near future: fortifying your home and yourself against crime.  I'm going to focus on three types of crimes, because your plans to defend against all three are closely related.
