At one time in my life, I lived next to a “safe-house” for women and children effected by domestic violemce.
Immediately, there’s a problem with this. The problem is that I knew it. And if I knew it, so would a “bad guy”.
It would be counter-productive (and pretty stupid) for me to list the specific indicators that would cause a safe-house to stand out, but the pont is that simple precautions would have greatly increased the security for the residents.
For instance, all vehicles, whenever possible, should be unmarked and discreet and avoid government markings. Sometimes, of course, this is unavoidable, but frequent visits will raise the suspicion of neighbors. Also school-aged children, if they’re attending school, should be told (in a non-threatening or frightening manner!) what is okay to talk about, and subjects they should avoid. Addresses, schedules and security information are some examples of the latter!
