SAFETY ON THE STREETS
If street crimes (purse snatching, robberies, assaults, etc.) are a problem in your neighbourhood and you have a fear of being a victim, there are ways in which you can reduce the risk of abuse and increase your sense of security. ◗ Walk only in well-lit areas. ◗ Don’t burden yourself with packages and a bulky purse. ◗ Never display large sums of money in public. ◗ Go shopping in pairs or in a group. ◗ Walk in the centre of the sidewalk, away from alleys and doorways. ◗ If you suspect you are being followed, cross the street, go to the nearest home, service station or business and call the police. ◗ Be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas that increase your chances of being assaulted. ◗ Report problem areas to police. The police welcome the information and can also advise you of prevention methods.
