How do I protect myself from an armed robber?
1. Transitional spaces are places where we MUST be more careful of potential attack. A transitional space is any location that (1) allows attackers to prey on potential victims with an element of surprise and (2) provides ready escape for the attackers. This store appears to be a transitional space because it’s a place people frequent and it’s got easy access in (and therefore out) for this armed robber. When you’re in one, be careful!
