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
