Rising Violent Crime Increases Self Defense Product Sales
Summary
The indications are that Americans are beginning to personally deal with the rising crime rate — with millions of women protecting themselves from becoming part of the negative annual statistics by purchasing self defense products.Until the FBI’s annual report demonstrates a stable decrease in the violent crime rate, the self defense product market will likely continue to do well, and clever new products — such as cell phone stun guns and stunning rings, or pepper spray disguised as lipstick, fountain pens or key rings — will quite likely continue growing in sales on the market— right alongside the rising rates in violent crime.In the FBI’s latest figures — for the first half of 2006 — law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. reported an increase of 3.7 percent for the number of violent crimes compared to FBI statistics for the same period of the previous year.“It’s a great item to defend against attackers and rapists, and the effects cause no permanent damage,” said Youtz, adding that Pepper spray is “the cheapest, most effective non-lethal self defense device available.” He also noted that pepper spray products are now legal in all 50 states — although a few states have legislated some restrictions.Until the FBI’s annual report demonstrates a stable decrease in the violent crime rate, the self defense product market will likely continue to do well, and clever new products — such as cell phone stun guns and stunning rings, or pepper spray disguised as lipstick, fountain pens or key rings — will quite likely continue growing in sales on the market— right alongside the rising rates in violent crime.Harrisburg Safe & Vault (HSV) started in June of 2006 with HarrisburgSafeAndVault.com, and began providing service to their local area in Pennsylvania.HSV is a platinum eBay powerseller, meaning the company has sales in excess of $25,000 per month on eBay, with a positive feedback score of 98% or higher.HSV has an online presence that includes the following websites, through which it sells security products throughout the United States:www.HarrisburgSafeAndVault.com - Safe & Vault saleswww.SelfDefensePlace.com - Self Defense and Security Productswww.SecurityCamPlace.com - Surveillance Cameras and equipment### Contact Information Harrisburg Safe & Vault Andrew Youtz 1-800-714-7617 www.HarrisburgSafeAndVault.com Click here to view the list of recent Press Releases from Harrisburg Safe & Vault Promote Your Business Press Release Pricing Email this page to a friend
