Since we have discussed the topic of Women Defending themselves I saw a blurb for this true story on the Biography Channel and thought that the females here may find it informative. I intend to watch it opcorn2:

Jennifer, a young lawyer, must use all of her instincts to fight off an intruder who sexually assaults and stabs her; Sampson is a corn farmer faced with the agonizing decision of whether to amputate his own arm or risk burning to death when his hand is pulled into a harvester that catches on fire; and Norina, a primary school principal must fight off a crazed man with a machete to save the lives of her students.
Victims' rights laws differ by state, but the majority require prosecutors to stay in touch with victims and their families after conviction with the intent of decreasing the number of return attacks by released or paroled offenders. Most states also mandate that at least a portion of compensation received by incarcerated offenders go to victims, including royalties for creative works such as books or screenplays derived from the crime. Victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, drunk driving, robbery and other crimes should look into their state's laws regarding compensation, entitlement and more.
