[2] Due to the poor judgement associated with binge drinking, the binge drinkers most of the time end up being victims the crimes. In addition to providing information on how to stop binge drinking, providing self defense lessons to students would help reduce the number of crimes. Self defense lessons can help students especially those who walk alone at night. [3] Despite the end of the ten weeks program where students learn about drug abuse and how to reduce the rate of crimes, lectures concerning the issues should be conducted on regular basis.
