That's a lot of words, and I think you chose weird examples, but that's dedinitely true. Criminals and predators depend enormously on their victims' choices. Imagine this: how could society ever stop a serial killer if his victims left their phones at home, drove themselves out into the middle of the desert and then stepped out into an already dug grave?

You can give the police and law enforcement all the tools and training and resources you can think of, but none of it compares to putting power kn the hands of the would-be victims. A victim always has the ability to prevent their own crime. It isn't always easy for them, but there is always a way. That's where their rights come from in the first place.

So many great tools and technologies out there exist that can make it easier for victims to avoid being victimized, to lower the cost. Developing these tools, distributing these tools to would-be victims, and training would-be victims to use these tools should be the highest priorities of anyone wishing to fight evil in this world.
