How to use "Unresisting" in context?
Most people would agree that resisting a criminal attempt to rob them is the right thing to do. However, the recent trend of people not resisting has led to a rise in crime, specifically robbery. In a study done by the Crime Prevention Research Center, it was found that when a victim resists an attempted robbery, the attacker is far more likely to back off and either not rob the person at all, or to rob them less severely.
This trend can be traced back to a 2003 study conducted by researchers at Lancaster University. They found that when a victim resists an attempted robbery, the assailant is much less likely to use physical force.
