Basically don't walk down lonely streets with a cell phone glued to your ear. Be alert to your surroundings. Don't ignore your sixth sense. If something makes you uncomfortable about the area you are entering and the hair stands up on the back of your neck, turn around and leave.

In most cases you can avoid violent encounters. Even if you know how to fight or if you carry a weapon that is always a damn good idea.

Don't go looking for trouble. If you do, trouble will find you.
