Female joggers have recently been the target of alarming assaults. In several recent incidents, female joggers were attacked in broad daylight, underscoring the ongoing risks.
We’ve all heard about Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was raped and killed while on a run at the University of Georgia’s campus.
A female jogger in Santa Monica was assaulted on May 16, 2024. The attacker was a homeless man, a parolee who grabbed her by the ponytail and dragged her toward public restrooms. Fortunately, bystanders intervened, preventing the situation from escalating. The attacker was charged with kidnapping and assault with intent to commit rape.
Not far from where the above incident occurred, another male transient was arrested as a suspect for beating and sexually assaulting two women along the Venice Canals.
So many discussions online and in the media either politicize these cases or victim blame – that is not the intention here. These incidents serve as stark reminders for female joggers or even people in general to take precautions.
In this article, we’ll discuss key safety measures and explore the best self-defense gadgets—like pepper spray, tasers, and tracking devices—that can help female joggers protect themselves.
