Voyeurism
Information and tips to protect yourself from voyeurism.
Content Overview
Voyeurism is the act of observing or filming another person who is engaged in a private act without his or her permission. Voyeurism is an opportunistic crime that can take place anywhere, anytime.
The majority of voyeurism cases involve:
Perpetrators taking upskirt photographs or videos.
“Peeping Tom” cases where perpetrators intentionally observe or record another person engaging in a private act without his or her consent (e.g. over or under a toilet cubicle).
Crime Prevention Tips
Be alert and attentive to your surroundings, especially when you are in a crowded or confined space.
Be wary of suspicious persons or behaviour and of those who might be making others uncomfortable.
If someone moves uncomfortably close to you (e.g. deliberately stands or sits close to you on a bus or MRT), move away if possible.
Be observant of recording devices.
Consider investing in a shrill alarm for you and your loved ones as it can come in handy to sound for help during an emergency.
