HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST MUGGERS?
________________________________________
HERE ARE SOME TIPS WHICH CAN HELP YOU:
 CRIMINALS CHOOSE THEIR VICTIMS NOT ONLY BY WHAT THEY ARE WEARING OR WHO THEY ARE, BUT ALSO HOW THEY BEHAVE.
 BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. AT NIGHT TRY TO AVOID WALKING ALONE, CHOSEE A MAIN STREETS WITH ALL ITS TRAFFIC AS POSIBLE. AVOID PUBLIC PARK, AREAS WITH TOO MANY TREES AND DARK STREETS.
 IF YOU THINK A SUSPICIOUS PERSON IS APPROACHING YOU, CROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET AND GO TO THE NEAREST PUBLIC PLACE.
 WHEN YOU ARE WAITING FOR A BUS AND THE STREET IS DESERTED, KEEP YOUR BACK AGAINST A WALL IN A WELL LIT SECION. DON´T CARRY YOUR BAG LOOSELY AROUND YOUR SHOULDER, CLUTCH IT TIGHTLY UNDER YOUR ARM.
 KEEP SOME PEPPER SPRAY WITH YOU. NEVER KEEP A POTENTIALLY LETHAL WEAPON WITH YOU AS YOU MANY CAUSE A DEATH.
 IF YOU ARE ROBBED, OBEY THE ROBBER´S INSTRUCTIONS. NORMALLY, THEY WILL SIMPLY TAKE WHAT THEY WANT AND GO AWAY.
 YOU CAN END THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY BY GIVING THE ATTACKER YOUR WALLET. YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CASH IN A SEPARATE MONEY POUCH THIS WILL ENABLE YOU TO HAND IT OVER WITHOUT SACRIFING YOUR CREDIT CARDS AND IDENTIFICATION CARD.
