Living in the hood may teach you to defend yourselves at all times but for those who don’t have that luxury, walking home late at night and especially alone can be a difficult experience. You’re probably stressed out and scared to death that someone may try to rob you or even cause you physical harm.

Rape alarms had originally been developed for women for their protection. More commonly known as attack alarms today, these small gadgets about the size of a keychain can emit loud noises intended to draw attention. According to the police, carrying an attack alarm can also increase the feeling of safeness making the individual appear more confident and attackers are less likely to target such individuals. Furthermore, the sound of an alarm also gives the victim a few extra seconds to run away.

The perfect attack alarm must be small enough to be carried on your person (in your hand or pocket) and elicit noise of at least 140dB. Sure24 sells some fancy attack alarms and gives you a great variety to choose from, including one that emits a loud scream! Most of the alarms cost about 5 pounds.
