You and your team are preparing to give an oral presentation to your coworkers at the upcoming weekly training meeting. Your training coordinator has requested that you speak about risk factors for becoming a victim of crime. He would also like you to cover whether people can reduce their risk of becoming a victim. Create a series of informative PowerPoint slides to aid your team's presentation.
This is my part of the assignment, can someone please lead me in the right direction
you would be coming up with a 4-6 slide presentation on how to lower risk factors dealing with poverty and vicitmization.
What have you learned about lowering risk factors dealing with poverty and victimization? Make a list of 4 to 6 of them. Then, use your imagination to figure out how to illustrate each one for your slide presentation.
If you list these factors, we'll be glad to help you figure out appropriate illustrations.
Here in Texas, we can't these days leave our guns and mink coats in the Cadallic convertible when we park downtown. Goodness, we cant leave the keys in the car anymore. And don't even think of walking the streets at night without our guns. They tell me on the news not to carry more than 10,000 in cash on me at night.
Surely you can think of more.
