You can avoid becoming a victim by not looking like one. Stand straight and tall while you walk around. Also, move swiftly, like you have a purpose and always have keys out and ready to open your home or car door rather than digging through a purse or pocket. A few other savvy moves: try parking your car under or near a street light and always walk with friends.

Remember that a criminal is looking for an easy target for their next victim. They want someone that they can grab quickly who won’t make a lot of noise. So look confident while walking around, not scared. Make a would-be criminal think you are prepared and not an easy target so they can pass you by.
