5/23/09 - Dating Violence: What Every Parent Should Know
|
Is your child
(or someone you know) in a physically and/or emotionally
destructive dating relationship? Love isn’t supposed to
hurt but abusive dating relationships are at an all time
high, and reaching epidemic proportions in teens between
the ages of 13-19. In fact, 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys
will have been in a physically abusive relationship by
the time they graduate from high school. The
implications of these destructive relationships are
far-reaching in terms of continued violence in adult
relationships, and for society at large. And,
unfortunately, today’s teen culture makes these
relationships appear normal, when even celebrities, like
well-known singer Rihanna, are subject to them. This
week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone
interviews abusive dating relationship expert Dr. Jill
Murray about how parents can recognize the signs that
their teen may be at risk and what to do about it. You
might pick up some tips for YOURSELF as well?

5/16/09-What Would a City Without Sexual
Violence Look Like?
Such a poignant question! The New York City
Alliance Against Sexual Assault is a
non-profit organization whose mission is to
perform research and develop policies that
will help prevent sexual violence. They
recently conducted a three-year study among
NYC high school students which found that
sexual and dating violence are shockingly
prevalent among this group. To answer the
questions why it occurs and what can be done
to end it, the Alliance’s Youth Action
Council asked 35 of the students studied to
convey their ideas about what a city without
sexual violence would look like—and how to
achieve this goal—through photos and
narratives. This June, the very moving
results of Project Envision will be
displayed publicly to audiences that’ll
include NYC politicians and policymakers.
Today, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone speaks with Harriet Lessel,
Executive Director of the Alliance, about
exactly what that model city would look
like.

5/9/09 - Points about Pepper Spray
Pepper spray has been around for over 30
years, primarily used by law enforcement and
emergency service personnel. It’s
inexpensive, easy to carry (and conceal),
and simple to use. When offered within the
context of proper training—which includes
awareness of their merits and limitations—it
enables people to feel safer, lead a less
restrictive lifestyle and can be a real
lifesaver! On today’s show, Crime Prevention
Specialist Susan Bartelstone interviews
David Nance, from the Security Equipment
Corporation, which produces the Sabre brand
of pepper spray, one of the most popular on
the market. And, which, as David says, has
been making grown men cry since 1975. Stay
tuned for everything you ever wanted to know
about defense sprays and important tips on
how to use them most effectively.

Cell phones and the Fight Against Crime
|
Cell phones have become an important weapon
in the fight against crime and camera phones
are a new wrinkle in this ongoing battle.
They're responsible for apprehending a whole
mess of criminals and saving many lives.
Today, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone interviews Marcus Anthony and
Ron Knight from My Mobile Witness—a free
mobile phone service that allows you to take
a picture of a person, place or situation
that's causing you apprehension (or simply
as a precaution) and send it off to a secure
digital vault where it's time and date
stamped and stored for six months. Once you
send in a photo, it can't be retrieved or
viewed by anyone but Law Enforcement. This
service has many uses; but, If you're
plagued by a stalker, if you have an Order
of Protection against a domestic partner, if
you have a job that puts you in vulnerable
situations (think real estate agents), don't
miss this show. And, stay tuned for great
tips on how to use your cell phone to catch
a criminal.

4/18/09 - April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
|
Sexual
violence has emotionally and physically scarred the
lives of millions of people in the U.S.—of all ages,
economic groups and races. And, it's not just the
primary victims of this crime who are affected, but the
secondary victims as well (spouses, children, parents
and friends). Since 2001, April has been declared
National Sexual Assault Awareness Month in order to
increase awareness about this issue, encourage
prevention
initiatives and
increase knowledge of what services are available to aid
survivors. This week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone interviews Lauren Sogor, from the National
Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), the nation’s
principal resource center for activism on all aspects of
sexual violence throughout the month (and the rest of
the year as well). If you’d like to find out how you can
make a difference this April (it’s never too late!) or
what activities are going on in your local area, don’t

Professor Robert Eckstein |
4/11//09 - Bringing in
the Bystander: Everyone has a Role to Play in Preventing
Violence
|
In 1964, the
gruesome sexual assault and murder of 28-year old
Kitty Genovese was
committed right outside her apartment building in a
suburb of NYC. What made this crime even more horrific
was that the attack lasted over a half hour (with the
assailant coming back three times to stab the victim)
AND that it was witnessed by 37 of her neighbors who
shut their eyes and ears and did nothing to
intervene—not even calling the police. The slaying of
Kitty Genovese has become a metaphor for what is known
as the Bystander Effect—the tendency of observers of a
crime to remain uninvolved. This week, Crime Prevention
Specialist Susan Bartelstone talks with Professor Robert
Eckstein, from the University of New Hampshire, who
teaches college students how, as bystanders, they can
safely engage in sexual violence prevention on college
campuses, and with Hunter College student Jerin Alam,
who’s trying to bring this curriculum to all the schools
in the City University system of New York. |

4/4/09 - Points
With Purpose: From Thousands of Tragic Events, a
Beautiful Drawing is Born
|
Celebrity artist DAVID ILAN is creating a
portrait from 100,000 individual dots (or
points)—each one representing a person who
has been raped or sexually abused. Up close,
the dots don't look like much; but from
afar, you see a portrait of a beautiful,
confident woman who has overcome and grown.
To kick off Sexual Assault Awareness Month,
Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone interviews David about his
drawing and website,
www.pointswithpurpose.com, which has become
a supportive haven where survivors can use
their real name or an alias and talk about
their attack (many for the first time),
their pain AND their recovery. Internet
forums are one more proven tool in the
healing arsenal and here, no one is alone in
the struggle. It's free to join and get a
dot; it's for both men and women; and
friends and supporters of survivors can get
a dot on the sheet supporting the figure.

Men Can Stop Rape:
Encore Appearance
|
When Golda
Meir was the Prime Minister of Israel, back in the early
'70s, an outbreak of nighttime assaults against women
occurred. A curfew on all women was suggested but Golda
refused. Since it’s the men who are attacking the women,
she stated, let the MEN stay home at night. That's
right, Baby! Put the responsibility where it belongs and
then address the source of the problem. Today, Susan
Bartelstone interviews Stephen Glaude, the Executive
Director of a remarkable national organization called
Men Can Stop Rape which is doing just that by mobilizing
young boys (ages 10 and up) to prevent violence against
women. Their programs challenge the harmful aspects of
traditional masculinity, teach boys to value alternative
visions of male strength, and show them how to foster
healthy relationships and alliances with women. And,
they're changing the attitude of millions of young boys.
If you've ever wondered what can be done to stop rape,
you don't want to miss this important show. |

3/14/09 - National
Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Domestic
Violence is a worldwide epidemic affecting every
country, every community, every race, religion, ethnic
group, age and sex and there are many different aspects
to it. Today, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone talks with Rita Smith, Executive Director of
the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV),
one of the largest and most prestigious organizations in
the field, about the services it provides for victims
and about how the issue of domestic abuse figures in
divorce and child custody cases. We’ll also be talking
about the controversial subjects of (supposedly) false
claims of abuse by one parent in order to restrict
visitation rights and the Parental Alienation Syndrome,
where one parent, usually the mother, is accused of
attempting to alienate a child from the other parent.
Stay tuned for a list of important resources including
programs that provide free cosmetic reconstruction
surgery to disfigured victims.

3/7/09 - Hell On
Heels: Interview with Linda Fairstein
Before the Devil wore Prada, Hell Wore Heels! "Hell on
Heels" is what defense attorneys used to call Linda
Fairstein, former Chief of the Sex Crimes Prosecution
Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's office, when
they had to face her in court. Known for her hard-boiled
manner and ability to win seemingly hopeless cases, Ms.
Fairstein spent 30 years prosecuting the likes of Robert
Chambers (the Preppy Murder Case) and the Central Park
Jogger Wolf Pack. She retired in 2002 to become the
best-selling author of a series of eleven crime novels
that resound with authenticity and feature a hard-boiled
prosecutor with a penchant for winning tough cases (what
else!). To kick off Women’s History Month, Crime
Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone interviews Linda
Fairstein about her groundbreaking days as a female
prosecutor and her new book, Lethal Legacy. It’d be a
crime not to listen!

National Stalking Awareness Month: Stories,
Tips and Resources
Stalking is a
frustrating, terrifying and potentially deadly situation
that affects an estimated 1.4 million people a year;

partnership or marriage. On today’s show, Crime

Going Straight: An
Ex-Convict/Psychologist Tells Why and How
He's a retired
forensic psychologist who has examined thousands of
defendants in criminal cases and testified as an expert
witness hundreds of times…but only after getting in
trouble for most of his youth and then spending four
years in prison. He left jail with a G.E.D., a $20 bill,
and a vow never to go back. And, he never has. This
week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone
interviews Dr. Paul Fauteck, the author of Going
Straight: An Ex-Convict /Psychologist Tells Why and How.
Now retired and in his 70's, he spends his time
lecturing to offender groups about the lessons he
learned, writing about how to improve the criminal
justice system, and trying to give back to society some
at least some of what he took. Also, on this show, Susan

course for at-risk kids that shows them what prison life
is really like—and has affected hundreds of troubled
lives so far. His story is so inspiring that a movie is

Paradise: Only the Strong Survive
Continuing with the theme of hope and change, on this

Bartelstone speaks with former bad guy, drug dealer and
bookie Wayne Gurman (now actor, writer and law-abiding
citizen) and good guy William Lappe, former NYPD
detective (now writer and film director), about how to
find paradise. A Bronx Paradise, that is, and believe me
it's no walk in the park. In the film, Wayne details his
criminal lifestyle from 1984 to 1999 when he was finally
(!) arrested and finally turned his life around. Shot
guerilla style on the streets where it all took place,
Wayne describes the film as very violent and very
funny—like his life. You wouldn't have wanted to have
known him then but you sure do now. And, no, William
Lappe wasn't the cop who arrested him. Susan's also got

U.S. criminal justice system over the past 20 years;
examines current trends; and explores the needs and

Continuing with the theme
of healing from violence, abuse or trauma using
non-traditional methods, Crime Prevention Specialist
Susan Bartelstone’s guest this week is author Lisa
Lockwood, who healed from her battle scars by making
life choices that challenged her and enabled her to find
her inner warrior. Physically abused by her father,
emotionally abused by her first husband, Lisa charted a
unique path to mental health by going from beauty
pageant contestant to soldier, to undercover narcotics
detective and SWAT team cop. Her book Undercover Angel:
From Beauty Queen to SWAT Team tells the story of how
she reinvented herself, as she calls it, to a place of
happiness, self-confidence and inner peace. Today, she
describes herself as the person she was meant to be: a
loving, adventurous, nurturing, driven and passionate
lady who just happens to know how to storm a crack
house. This might not be your path, but the lessons she
recounts are important and hopefully inspirational.

Significant Guidance: the U.S. Office on Violence
Against Women
In 1994, Congress passed
the first Violence Against Women Act which finally
acknowledged the severity of the crimes associated with
domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Since
then, there’s been a paradigm shift in how the
government has addressed the issue of violence against
women and in 1995 the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW)
was created to provide leadership and “significant
guidance” regarding these issues on the government’s
behalf.
To date, the
OVW has awarded nearly $3 billion in grants and provided
technical assistance to numerous state, local, tribal,
and non-profit entities to fulfill its mandate. Crime
Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone’s guest today is
Cindy Dyer, Director of the OVW, who, among other
things, oversees the administration of 12 grant
programs, and almost $400 million in funds, aimed at
providing victims with the protection and services they
need to pursue safe, healthy lives. An important show;
it’d be a crime not to listen!

- ONLY HER HAIRDRESSER KNOWS FOR SURE!
The majority of the victims
of domestic violence are women and what professional do
women usually see more often than any other-their
hairstylist! And, it’s very common that women develop a
close, trusted relationship with their stylist and even
confide in them, instead of their family or friends,
about abuse at home.
On today’s
show, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone
interviews Dianne Mooney, founder of CUT IT OUT, a
national program that educates salon professionals to
recognize signs of domestic abuse in their clients and
safely refer those clients to local resources for help;
and Christina Kauffman, an educator from the Empire
Education Group, the nation’s largest system of
cosmetology schools, which supports CUT IT OUT by
teaching their more than 11,000 students how to respond
to clients suffering from abuse. Tune in and learn how a
haircut and a caring conversation could save a life!
This show will blow you away (or maybe that’s blow
dry?).

How to Prevent
Identity Theft
with Todd Davis of
Lifelock
It
can happen to anyone. It can happen anywhere.
No one is immune and even celebrities like Oprah Winfrey
and Steven Spielberg have been victims. Identity
theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America,
affecting over 10 million people a year and costing
billions of dollars. And, it can take countless
hours, perhaps even years, to restore your credit once
you’ve been victimized.
Crime
Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone interviews Todd
Davis, CEO of LifeLock, the identity theft prevention
company, about what can be done to protect your identity
from being stolen and how to repair your credit if
you’ve already been victimized. Be sure to tune in
for this timely and important show.

- Why Doesn’t She Just Leave?
Domestic
Violence Conundrum. Why doesn’t she just leave? That’s
what most people ask when they discuss domestic
violence. The answer: because it might require visits to
more than 20 (!) different state and social service
agencies (especially if children are involved);
countless lost time from work; and endless repetitions
of her story in order to “just leave.” Back in 1989, San
Diego City Attorney Casey Gwinn proposed to simplify the
process with a “one stop shop” housing in one place all
the agencies and service providers needed to handle
domestic abuse cases. Called the Family Justice Center,
there are now 35 FJCs in the US and counting. Casey
Gwinn then founded the National Family Justice Center
Alliance to create a close network between the Centers
and share training, technical and funding assistance.
This week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone interviews this visionary prosecutor about
what has proved to be one of the most significant
initiatives to help domestic violence victims in the
past 20 years. Must-hear show!

Standing Up Against
Street Harassment
|
It doesn’t
just occur when women pass by a construction site or a
group of men hanging out in front of a store. Simply by
walking down the street or being in ANY public place,
women can be subject to behavior that ranges from the
merely annoying to the downright terrifying. Men give us
unwanted compliments, whistle at us, make catcalls and
sexually-explicit comments.
They block our
path, stand too close, fondle, grope and rub up against
us on busses, subways, elevators, in parks, at beaches
and dance clubs. More frightening, they expose
themselves or masturbate in front of us, and, in the
extreme, follow us around or threaten us with violence
and rape. It’s called Street Harassment and it happens
pretty much all over the world.
On today’s
show, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone
interviews Laura Beth Nielson, author of License to
Harass, and Brittany Shoot, from the anti-harassment
organization HollabackBoston, and offers ways to safely
“holla back” at harassers.

- Break those Chains, Y'all;
Stop Webmails
|
We’ve all gotten them. With dire headlines,
they claim to be of vital importance to
women’s safety and urge you to pass the
information along to every woman you know.
They're referred to as Webmails and they
circulate on the Internet for years. A few
do give true and useful information. Most,
however, offer bad or dangerously incomplete
advice. Susan Bartelstone's guest today is
John Ratliff, founder of Breakthechain.org,
one of the best websites around for
debunking these false Webmails. John is
passionate about stopping the misinformation
on the Internet; educating people about the
shortcomings and dangers (yes, dangers) of
e-mail chain letters; and discouraging
individuals from sending or forwarding them.
If you've ever passed one of those e-mails
along, you'd better listen in…or else you'll
have bad luck for the next seven years!
(And, tell five of your friends.) |

Men Can Stop Rape
|
When Golda
Meir was the Prime Minister of Israel, back in the early
'70s, an outbreak of nighttime assaults against women
occurred. A curfew on all women was suggested but Golda
refused. Since it’s the men who are attacking the women,
she stated, let the MEN stay home at night. That's
right, Baby! Put the responsibility where it belongs and
then address the source of the problem. Today, Susan
Bartelstone interviews Stephen Glaude, the Executive
Director of a remarkable national organization called
Men Can Stop Rape which is doing just that by mobilizing
young boys (ages 10 and up) to prevent violence against
women. Their programs challenge the harmful aspects of
traditional masculinity, teach boys to value alternative
visions of male strength, and show them how to foster
healthy relationships and alliances with women. And,
they're changing the attitude of millions of young boys.
If you've ever wondered what can be done to stop rape,
you don't want to miss this important show. |

- At Home with Guns
|
You're home alone, the doorbell is ringing
nonstop and someone is banging on your door
screaming "Help me." You know better, still
you open the door. Mistake. The person
you're facing doesn't need assistance, he
wants to harm you. And, sadly, it's far more
common for the invader to be a vengeful
spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend than a
stranger. Freelance writer Lane Therrell,
who describes herself as an average,
middle-aged woman, faced just such a
situation eight years ago when she was
threatened by her physically abusive
ex-fiancé. She decided to learn how to shoot
a gun for protection. Today she's an
NRA-Certified firearms safety instructor in
Northern California, lectures on domestic
violence and has truly triumphed over her
difficulties. Whether you're for 'em or agin
'em, getting a gun for home protection is a
valid option and Lane movingly and honestly
shares her experiences on this
thought-provoking show. And, stay tuned for
some life-saving home invasion tips as well. |

Steal
|
How would you feel if you found out that while you and
your family were eating dinner, burglars had broken in
and stolen your valuables? According to the
FBI, that's exactly what happened in a staggering 3,000
robberies—compliments of notorious jewel thief Walter T.
Shaw, who stole more than $70 million worth of jewelry
from the superrich and famous over a 20-year period and
never got caught in the act. Crime Prevention Specialist
Susan Bartelstone interviews Walter about his brand new
book, A License to Steal, which details his exploits as
the leader of this brazen "Dinnertime Gang" and his life
in the Mafia. More importantly, though, it's the
poignant story of his reconciliation with his genius
inventor father from whom he was estranged for 25 years.
He's appeared on Oprah, Rachael Ray and Inside Edition;
now you can hear him on Crime Prevention 101! And, stay
tuned for some timely tips on how to discourage
burglars, because property crimes soar in the
summertime.
