Security on the Street
On Foot
• Stay in well-lighted, busy areas. Avoid walking alone and avoid known
trouble spots.
• When you carry a purse, hold it close to your body rather than by the
handles. Do not wrap purse straps around your wrist, because you can get
hurt in a struggle.
• Carry only what you need in a purse or wallet, not everything you have.
• Avoid using shortcuts through dark alleys, fields, or vacant lots.
• If you think you're being followed, cross the street and change directions a
few times. Go quickly to a well-lighted place with lots of people. Do not go
home.
You don't want an attacker to know where you live.
