Does the way I dress attract criminals?

I think in broad terms, no, it doesn't. Generally speaking the way you dress can attract people attentions to you, which might then lead to them taking more interest to you as a potential victim of crime. And I don't think it's right to dictate to anybody the way that they should dress, but I think if you choose to dress a particular style you should be aware of the potential attraction that is given to you by other people. And again, we're talking about sensible precautions to try and minimize the risk of you becoming a victim of crime. This could be in some circumstances you go out dress as you wish, but have a coat just to cover up after you've been to an event just to minimize the attraction or the unwanted attention you might get from other people. Obviously there is the risk that if you have jewellery on open display or if you've got a particular hand bag or something, you could be a victim of crime. It's about taking sensible precautions not to draw attention to yourself and taking the opportunity to wear a coat to cover up jewellery, just to minimize the risk.
