Just in time for the annual spate of back-to-college safety lectures, james_nicoll links to Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work! For example:

1. Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!

3. If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!

4. NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

5. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!

More helpful advice is at the link.

I wish this list had existed when I was in college. I could have avoided so many awkward moments.

The notion that got in my nose from college orientation and hasn't left (in twenty-five years) is "mugger money". Here's a tip for the muggers: if you want money from college students, wait until *after* they graduate!
