How To Modify Your Behaviour To Avoid Becoming A Victim Of Violent Crime

How can I modify my behavior to avoid becoming a victim of violent crime?

It's important, when you go out in public, to vary your levels of alertness. When you're in a remote area like a parking lot, you should be on high alert. You should pay attention to everything and try to minimize distractions. It's important to remain alert at all times, from getting out of your car to arriving at your destination. Once you get into a busier area, like a shopping center, you can lower your level of alertness whilst still maintaining an appropriate level. Once you get inside a store or restaurant, you can relax a little more. We don't want to be tense, upset or paranoid all the time but there are circumstances where you want to be a little more alert than usual.
