Overview
A Crime Prevention Buzzer (防犯ブザー bōhan buzā) is a device designed to emit a loud alarm noise when activated. It primarily has the shape of a small casket with a single button used to activate the device.
As it literally translates, the device is designed to deter any would-be criminals by making a loud noise. The sudden noise and siren-like sound can have an effect on a assailant by either disorienting them or startling them.
A similar English word would be a "personal alarm", a generalized term.
