Criminal Intent is defined as the criminal thought process and motives pertaining to crime and violence.
- The majority of criminals do not look the part. They look like everyone else.
- Bad guys prey on what they perceive as “weak targets.”
- Criminals are extremely lazy and will not work hard at committing a crime.
- The easiest, fastest, and least challenging way is what a bad guy looks for.
- The majority of bad guys flee or give up at the first hint of trouble or resistance.
- Criminals do not expect any resistance from a victim because they rely on fear to get the job done.
- Most bad guys have extremely poor plans and usually have no back up plans.
- Criminals can be thrown out of sync very easily because they expect little to no resistance.
- Many of your everyday actions will determine whether or not you will become a target.
- Only 5% of the population commits the majority of all crimes.
- If you are perceived as strong and confident and APPEAR to be a challenge, your chances of becoming a victim decrease dramatically.
- At one point in your life you probably have been the target of a crime and did not even know it. The smallest actions you took prevented a bad guy from carrying out his plans.
