There are a few common sense tips on how to further reduce the risk of being attacked:

• Avoid short-cuts and dark alleys, especially at night
• Head for a busy public place if you suspect you're being followed
• Walk facing the traffic, so cars cannot pull up behind you unnoticed
• Don't be fooled by a casual request for a cigarette or for change
• Never accept a lift from a stranger
• Vary your route if you regularly go out jogging
• Always carry a personal attack alarm, available from DIY stores
