Violent Crime, abduction and kidnapping and
other forms of personal attack are still comparatively rare and
account for a small percentage of recorded crime. Still fewer such
incidents take place against children. But they do happen and it
is only right to take precautions to ensure you and your children
are safe.
For example over the past few years there has been an increase
in the number of child abductions from 196 in 1991 to 921in 2003/04.
Although this is a worrying increase the risk of this happening
to your child is extremely small if you consider there are over
5 and a half million recorded crimes each year. Statistically, the
risks to children from a stranger deliberately harming them are
very low. However, it is still a good idea to teach your children
some safety rules.
