Here are some tips to help avoid violent crime in public places:
- Avoid isolated areas, and always keep to well-lit, busy streets.
- Be aware of your surroundings and stay alert. 
- Be visible by wearing bright colors or carrying a flashlight. 
- Take a self defense class if you can, as this can boost your confidence and reduce anxiety while walking alone.  
- Stay away from known gangs, troubling people or suspicious activity. 
If you see anything suspicious or unsafe immediately remove yourself from the situation with safe walking routes and an alternate path to where you need to go. Never hesitate in alerting authorities on dangerous activities and individuals that make you uncomfortable
