1
Don’t hang out alone in isolated places
Whether it’s the day or night, do not tread into isolated places all by yourself. Yeah they are many security cameras to protect you in public places, but when you are alone, you are as good as a prey. If for any reason you have to travel alone in a deserted and isolated space, bring a ginger or mace spray to help protect against the assaulters. -

Route changes
Most proclaimed offenders admit tracking their victims for weeks before making the move. So change routes regularly to break your patterns. -
3
Don’t spend time in the parking lot
Parking lots are lonesome particularly at night. Just head to your car, fire up the ignition and drive. This is very important if you have to travel late in the night. -
4
Be vigilant
You should always be vigilant and should know how to identify suspicions patterns. If a car follows you daily from your workplace to your home, something is definitely not right. Whenever in doubt, change your route and speed away. -
5
Train yourself
Learn how to use at least one weapon, and carry it with you at all times. However, the weapon should be licensed and you should have the permission to use it. -
6
Buy an alarm system
Purchase a top notch security system for your home or apartment. Change the pass codes regularly and observe the camera feed every other day to detect any suspicious activity nearby your home. This is very important if you live alone, as people living alone are the most common victims of break ins and burglaries. -

Do not hitch hike
You should not walk back to home at night, particularly if you are alone. If you cannot afford a car or taxi, request someone to walk with you to home.
