Basic Street Sense

Wherever you are - on the street, in an office building or shopping mall, driving, waiting for a bus or subway - stay alert and tuned in to your surroundings.
Send the message that you're calm, confident, and know where you're going.
Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes you uneasy, avoid the person or leave.
Think ahead and plan your journey, avoiding deserted areas in the dark, always stick to well-lit areas.
If you think you are being followed, cross the road.
If you start to be frightened, try not to panic. Always try to think around situations.
