As budget cuts lead to inadequate mall security, women may be most affected by increased violent crime. Every age group holds prime targets for criminals, who use relaxed security as an opportunity to successfully commit crime and escape identification. Seniors are vulnerable to robbers. Children are used as hostages to force carjacking or ATM cash withdrawals. Women alone are raped and assaulted.
Cameras that aren’t monitored and diminished foot patrols may be all it takes to make a mall environment more attractive to a serial criminal. Women who are injured in such circumstances should contact a personal injury attorney, who may be able to prove negligent security in a premises liability case against the mall.
