As allegations of domestic violence incidents among celebrities such as Chris Brown, Gary Coleman and Charlie Sheen, continue to make headlines, abuse in the common home frequently goes unreported.

“Every 15 seconds a woman is battered in the United States and the abuse takes many forms besides physical, including psychological, emotional, sexual and financial,” said Alexander. “Abusers use shame, guilt, intimidation and fear to gain control over their victim so we’ll be discussing how to leave an abusive relationship, how to heal, and how to protect yourself, your family and what you value.” 

“Crime Prevention 101 is a personal safety radio show with an optimistic perspective on a sober subject,” said Bartelstone.  “We feature meaningful crime topics, guests and stories that demand to be heard, and safety trends that are going to impact all our lives.” 

Bartelstone, a nationally-known crime prevention expert and talk show host, works with WomanSavers.com as the resident safety advisor showing members how to protect themselves.
