It is always a good idea to keep in the loop of what is happening in your neighbourhood – any burglaries, injuries, graffiti, and so forth. Even more important, you need to pay attention to the types of crimes around the neighbourhood – burglaries, homicide, racist crimes, sexual crimes, the list goes on. If you are one of the target groups of these crimes, ensure that you are safe, and always have someone to call when and if you are in trouble. If you live in a bad neighbourhood, never go anywhere alone, and invest in a can of mace or even a tazer to keep you safe.
