Method #1 Avoiding an Opportunity for Attack

1. Be aware of your surroundings, always- Know where the nearest police or fire station.

2. Travel with someone whenever possible, especially at night- If you live alone, text a friend or family member letting them know where you will be and when to expect to hear from you next.

3. Act with purpose- Don’t ask random people on the street for directions. Go inside a shop and ask a member of staff instead.

4. Lock your doors and windows at home- Most burglaries occur by criminals by trying out door handles or windows in a neighborhood until they find one that is unlocked. Don't risk it.
