The main symptom of a victim who has received a severe electric shock is usually white or very pale blue skin. Another symptom is bluish color to the membrane inside the person's mouth or under the eyelid, which are usually pinky in colour. The victim may also have a weak or absent pulse, burned skin and stiffness of the body. You should not consider this as rigor mortis. Before you administer first aid you must ensure the victim is no longer in contact with the power source, or if they are turn the power source off. If you cannot isolate the power, protect yourself with a dry insulating material such as dry clothing. With this try to pull, push or roll the victim. It is important you do not touch the victim. If the victim is unconscious you should administer artificial respiration/ventilation. The victim should then be moved to a medical facility and be observed for several hours.

How can you decrease the amount of murders and rapes?
There is very little that the average person can do to decrease the amount of violent crime in a society. Education will help, to teach people that these things are very, very wrong and should never happen. The most people can do on their own is to donate money to organizations that help victims of violent crimes and their families. It will not change that the crime happened, but it will help the victims deal with the crime, and give them support as they move forward.
