How to Prevent “Kyodo-gakari” Crime Victims

Hirano followed a junior high school girl through an auto-locked door, a method known as “Kyodo-gakari,” and entered the premises of her condominium. Speaking of “Kyodo-gakari,” a 24-year-old woman was stabbed to death in her condominium in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, in August of this year.

What can be done to prevent “co-guests”? We asked Mr. Toshihiko Matsumaru, a crime prevention advisor, what can be done to prevent “co-guests” (Mr. Matsumaru is in parentheses).

First of all, it is important to notice if someone is following you. It is important to be aware of this. If you walk while looking at your cell phone, you will not be able to pay attention to your surroundings. It is dangerous because you cannot pay attention to your surroundings. Moreover, if you are listening to music while you are walking on your phone, you may not be able to hear things. If you are listening to music while you are on your phone, you will not be able to hear the sound of things, which increases the danger even more.

If a suspicious person comes in with you when you enter the auto-locking door of your apartment building, you should pretend to make a phone call while you are on the phone. If you are entering an auto-locking door of an apartment building and a suspicious person enters with you, do not get on the elevator while pretending to make a phone call. Do not get on the elevator while pretending to make a phone call. If you are alone in the elevator, you may feel sorry if you are mistaken. If you are alone in an elevator, some people may feel uncomfortable because they are afraid of being mistaken for someone else. If this is the case, look at the person you are talking to once, keep him or her in sight, and say “Good evening” or “Good evening. Good evening,” or “What floor are you on? If you are thinking of committing a crime, you should not look at the person’s face. People who are thinking of committing a crime do not like to be seen. If a suspicious person is in front of your house, you should be careful not to let him or her see you.

If a suspicious person follows you to your house and there is no one at home, never unlock your door. Do not unlock your house. You may be forced into your home. You should also pretend to make a phone call and move to the front of the neighbor’s house. Move to the front of the neighbor’s house or back toward the elevator while pretending to make a phone call. If you are in a situation where you are not sure if you can make a call, move to the front of the next house or back toward the elevator.

It is a good idea to have a security buzzer with you as a precaution. It is a 110-decibel buzzer that is as loud as a police car siren. It should be as loud as a police siren (110 decibels). If you feel you are in danger, do not hesitate to sound it. If you feel you are in danger, do not hesitate to sound it. If you carry a crime prevention buzzer and have the awareness that “if something happens, ring it” in a corner of your mind, you will naturally become aware of the danger. If you carry an anti-crime buzzer and have the awareness of “ringing it if something happens” in your mind, you will naturally become more aware of crime prevention.

In the case of a murderous prowler like the one in Kobe, a buzzer may not be enough to stop him. Mr. Matsumaru offers further tips on how to be prepared.

“Be aware of where convenience stores and other places where people congregate are located along your route to work or school. If you feel someone is following you, go to that convenience store and kill some time. If you are still waiting outside for the person who is following you, do not hesitate to call 110.

If you have decided what you should do if you feel you are in danger, and if you have a certain amount of simulation, it will help you protect yourself from sneaky criminals like Mr. Hirano.
