Think About It

Synopsis: Addresses the fears of first year students arriving at university who may be feeling insecure in their strange new environment. Offers advice on personal safety and how to avoid potentially dangerous situations, as well as some basic security measures that should be taken. Deals with five main areas (walking about, driving, public transport, around the house, and advice for men). Uses a visual style inspired by comic books to make the subject more accessible, stressing the positive aspects of what can be done rather than confirming fears by concentrating on negatives.
