Think ahead and plan your journey, avoiding deserted
areas.
Try to avoid walking alone at night, and keep to
well-lit main roads where possible. You should try to avoid short cuts
like alleyways, waste ground and wooded, bushy areas.
Stay alert: be aware of what’s going on around you.
It is always worth letting someone know where you are
going, the route you intend to take and when you expect to return.
Consider investing in a mobile phone. (But be very
careful to use it only in safe environments).
Try to avoid wearing headphones, your ability to hear
traffic, strangers or potential trouble is severely restricted.
