Spanish term or phrase: las 4D
Buenas tardes,

Estoy traduciendo un documento sobre prevención de violencia y no estoy muy seguro de cuál sería la traducción más adecuada ya que al traducirlo al inglés puede cambiar un poco.

Las 4D: distraer, delegar, documentar, dar asistencia

En caso de personas que estén sufriendo acoso, se pueden utilizar las llamadas 4D:
Distraer: desviar la tención del agresor, por ejemplo preguntando a la victima por una dirección o por cualquier otra cosa que haga sentir al acosador que la mujer no está sola.

Delegar:consiste en buscar apoyo de alguna autoridad o persona que esté encargada de la seguridad de algún local cercano.

Documentar: es grabar lo hechos con un teléfono móvil, indicando lugar y hora del incidente.

Dar asistencia: acercarse a la persona afectada y brindarle apoyo, ofrecerle la opción de llamarle a algún conocido.

Desde ya, agradezco sus aportes.

agree  Laeticia Maris: Although I like Allegro's references, I think this option seems to be good given the context. For you to use "delay" instead of "deliver assistance", you should know where the text would circulate (is it a bilg folder to circ. in the A's own country?)

agree  AllegroTrans: Good solution but as Laeticia says, very important to know what is the target country, but "4 D's"

The Three D’s of D.O.T Intervention: Direct, Distract, and Delegate

You may be wondering about how you can intervene if you see an incidence of violence happening or a situation has the potential for violence? You may have concerns for your own safety and welfare or perhaps being confrontational is not part of who you are. Part of the Green Dot philosophy is teaching bystanders how to intervene in a manner that is comfortable for them.

Direct: A direct intervention is exactly as it says; a bystander confronts a situation him or herself. For example, you may witness a situation developing with a friend and another person that looks like it may escalate so you step in and pull your friend out of the situation and walk him/her away. When safe, being direct is the most immediate way to intervene in a situation.

Distract: Perhaps you don’t want to address a situation directly then you can try to cause a distraction that will diffuse the situation and give a moment for things to calm down. Maybe you “accidentally” spill your drink or ask to borrow a cell phone from the person who is in the threatening situation. Sometimes that one break in a situation is all it takes to help someone out.

Delegate: If you can’t intervene directly in something because there is a barrier that makes you uncomfortable, then enlist some help. Ask friends to assist you or talk to a faculty or staff member. Maybe it means you need to call the police. Doing a Green Dot intervention does not mean you have to do it alone.

What are the four strategies for stepping in?
Bystander Intervention Techniques (the 4 Ds)

Direct: Step in and address the situation directly. ...
Distract: Distract either person in the situation to intervene. ...
Delegate: Find others who can help you to intervene in the situation. ...
Delay: For many reasons, you may not be able to do something right in the moment.

agree  neilmac: IMHO 3/4/5 Ds does not need an apostrophe (D's).

  -> An apostrophe to pluralise a single letter of the alphabet is apparently correct, though admittedly counterintuitive
agree  Yvonne Gallagher: No apostrophe
