May 4
Personal Safety Forum –University of Delaware, Newark, DE

Speaking to approximately 150 people in the Trabant University Center Thursday night, Kristen Bonistall shared personal experiences, as well as numerous tips to prevent crime in an effort to promote off-campus safety.

To illustrate how easily break-ins can occur, PEACE OUTside CAMPUS members surveyed university students and found a startling amount were careless about locking their doors consistently and knowing who had keys to their apartment. Ninety percent of off-campus students polled did not know if their locks had been changed prior to moving in and 90 percent said they kept their doors unlocked if they were home. To illustrate her point, Kristen pushed the results of the survey as a plea for students to take action and become educated about protecting themselves. Kristen said educating students about off-campus safety and the ways they can avoid dangerous situations has helped her channel the pain of the loss of her sister Lindsey Bonistall. "We can't actually change people's desires to perpetrate crime," Kristen said, "but what we can change are the opportunities they have to do it."
