There are many prescriptions for your personal security. Some you are acquainted with, others not so much.
In any case, there is a critical element, that if you engage actively can keep you out of and save you from unpleasant businesses.
That element is your degree of security consciousness.
Security consciousness starts with a mind that is aware. Aware of risks (what could go wrong), aware of resources/options available on the spot and aware of the need to be ready for the unplanned at all times.
Security consciousness is cultivated. It begins with a mind that constantly risk-assesses its environment (for threats and means to evade or overthrow them, if they arise).
The need for security consciousness stems from the fact that assailants usually have the advantage of planning and, or, the element of surprise. Recognizing what could happen before it does reduces that advantage considerably. And increases your chances of turning the tables.
Stay secure!
