- Undercover Angel: From Beauty Queen to SWAT Team
Continuing with the theme of healing from violence,
abuse or trauma using non-traditional methods, Crime
Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone’s guest this
week is author Lisa Lockwood, who healed from her battle
scars by making life choices that challenged her and
enabled her to find her inner warrior. Physically abused
by her father, emotionally abused by her first husband,
Lisa charted a unique path to mental health by going
from beauty pageant contestant to soldier, to undercover
narcotics detective and SWAT team cop. Her book
Undercover Angel: From Beauty Queen to SWAT Team tells
the story of how she reinvented herself, as she calls
it, to a place of happiness, self-confidence and inner
peace. Today, she describes herself as the person she
was meant to be: a loving, adventurous, nurturing,
driven and passionate lady who just happens to know how
to storm a crack house. This might not be your path, but
the lessons she recounts are important and hopefully
inspirational.

Significant Guidance: the U.S. Office on Violence
Against Women
In 1994, Congress passed the first Violence Against
Women Act which finally acknowledged the severity of the
crimes associated with domestic violence, sexual
assault, and stalking. Since then, there’s been a
paradigm shift in how the government has addressed the
issue of violence against women and in 1995 the Office
on Violence Against Women (OVW) was created to provide
leadership and “significant guidance” regarding these
issues on the government’s behalf.
To date, the OVW has awarded nearly $3 billion in grants
and provided technical assistance to numerous state,
local, tribal, and non-profit entities to fulfill its
mandate. Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone’s
guest today is Cindy Dyer, Director of the OVW, who,
among other things, oversees the administration of 12
grant programs, and almost $400 million in funds, aimed
at providing victims with the protection and services
they need to pursue safe, healthy lives. An important
show; it’d be a crime not to listen!

- ONLY HER HAIRDRESSER KNOWS FOR SURE!
The majority of the victims of domestic violence are
women and what professional do women usually see more
often than any other-their hairstylist! And, it’s very
common that women develop a close, trusted relationship
with their stylist and even confide in them, instead of
their family or friends, about abuse at home.
On today’s
show, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone
interviews Dianne Mooney, founder of CUT IT OUT, a
national program that educates salon professionals to
recognize signs of domestic abuse in their clients and
safely refer those clients to local resources for help;
and Christina Kauffman, an educator from the Empire
Education Group, the nation’s largest system of
cosmetology schools, which supports CUT IT OUT by
teaching their more than 11,000 students how to respond
to clients suffering from abuse. Tune in and learn how a
haircut and a caring conversation could save a life!
This show will blow you away (or maybe that’s blow
dry?).

victimized.

about what can be done to protect your identity from being stolen and how to

10/11/08 - Why Doesn’t
She Just Leave?
Domestic Violence Conundrum. Why doesn’t she just leave?
That’s what most people ask when they discuss domestic
violence. The answer: because it might require visits to
more than 20 (!) different state and social service
agencies (especially if children are involved);
countless lost time from work; and endless repetitions
of her story in order to “just leave.” Back in 1989, San
Diego City Attorney Casey Gwinn proposed to simplify the
process with a “one stop shop” housing in one place all
the agencies and service providers needed to handle
domestic abuse cases. Called the Family Justice Center,
there are now 35 FJCs in the US and counting. Casey
Gwinn then founded the National Family Justice Center
Alliance to create a close network between the Centers
and share training, technical and funding assistance.
This week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone interviews this visionary
prosecutor about what has proved to be one of the most
significant initiatives to help domestic violence
victims in the past 20 years. Must-hear show!

Standing Up Against
Street Harassment
|
It doesn’t just occur when women pass by a construction
site or a group of men hanging out in front of a store.
Simply by walking down the street or being in ANY public
place, women can be subject to behavior that ranges from
the merely annoying to the downright terrifying. Men
give us unwanted compliments, whistle at us, make
catcalls and sexually-explicit comments.
They block our
path, stand too close, fondle, grope and rub up against
us on busses, subways, elevators, in parks, at beaches
and dance clubs. More frightening, they expose
themselves or masturbate in front of us, and, in the
extreme, follow us around or threaten us with violence
and rape. It’s called Street Harassment and it happens
pretty much all over the world.
On today’s show, Crime
Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone interviews Laura
Beth Nielson, author of License to Harass, and Brittany
Shoot, from the anti-harassment organization HollabackBoston, and offers ways to safely “holla back”
at harassers.

- Break those Chains, Y'all;
Stop Webmails
|
We’ve all gotten them. With dire headlines, they claim
to be of vital importance to women’s safety and urge you
to pass the information along to every woman you know.
They're referred to as Webmails and they circulate on
the Internet for years. A few do give true and useful
information. Most, however, offer bad or dangerously
incomplete advice. Susan Bartelstone's guest today is
John Ratliff, founder of Breakthechain.org, one of the
best websites around for debunking these false Webmails.
John is passionate about stopping the misinformation on
the Internet; educating people about the shortcomings
and dangers (yes, dangers) of e-mail chain letters; and
discouraging individuals from sending or forwarding
them. If you've ever passed one of those e-mails along,
you'd better listen in…or else you'll have bad luck for
the next seven years! (And, tell five of your friends.) |

Men Can Stop Rape
|
When Golda Meir was the Prime Minister of Israel, back
in the early '70s, an outbreak of nighttime assaults
against women occurred. A curfew on all women was
suggested but Golda refused. Since it’s the men who are
attacking the women, she stated, let the MEN stay home
at night. That's right, Baby! Put the responsibility
where it belongs and then address the source of the
problem. Today, Susan Bartelstone interviews Stephen
Glaude, the Executive Director of a remarkable national
organization called Men Can Stop Rape which is doing
just that by mobilizing young boys (ages 10 and up) to
prevent violence against women. Their programs challenge
the harmful aspects of traditional masculinity, teach
boys to value alternative visions of male strength, and
show them how to foster healthy relationships and
alliances with women. And, they're changing the attitude
of millions of young boys. If you've ever wondered what
can be done to stop rape, you don't want to miss this
important show. |

- At Home with Guns
|
You're home alone, the doorbell is ringing nonstop and
someone is banging on your door screaming "Help me." You
know better, still you open the door. Mistake. The
person you're facing doesn't need assistance, he wants
to harm you. And, sadly, it's far more common for the
invader to be a vengeful spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend
than a stranger. Freelance writer Lane Therrell, who
describes herself as an average, middle-aged woman,
faced just such a situation eight years ago when she was
threatened by her physically abusive ex-fiancé. She
decided to learn how to shoot a gun for protection.
Today she's an NRA-Certified firearms safety instructor
in Northern California, lectures on domestic violence
and has truly triumphed over her difficulties. Whether
you're for 'em or agin 'em, getting a gun for home
protection is a valid option and Lane movingly and
honestly shares her experiences on this
thought-provoking show. And, stay tuned for some
life-saving home invasion tips as well. |

|
How would you
feel if you found out that while you and your family
were eating dinner, burglars had broken in and stolen
your valuables? According to
the FBI, that's exactly what happened in a staggering
3,000 robberies —compliments
of notorious jewel thief Walter T. Shaw, who stole more
than $70 million worth of jewelry from the superrich and
famous over a 20-year period and never got caught in the
act. Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone
interviews Walter about his brand new book, A License to
Steal, which details his exploits as the leader of this
brazen "Dinnertime Gang" and his life in the Mafia. More
importantly, though, it's the poignant story of his
reconciliation with his genius inventor father from whom
he was estranged for 25 years. He's appeared on Oprah,
Rachael Ray and Inside Edition; now you can hear him on
Crime Prevention 101! And, stay tuned for some timely
tips on how to discourage burglars, because property
crimes soar in the summertime.
