Studies show that perpetrators fear attention and loud noise, so avoid going solo when walking at night or in empty parking garages. When you\u2019re out with a friend, take public transportation together or park your cars next to each other and walk to them at the end of the night. If you\u2019re at work, don\u2019t stay late by yourself\u2014walk out with a coworker. <\/p>\n<\/div>

And staying in lighted areas is always a good idea. If you can walk under streetlights and through lighted corridors, choose those over darkened areas. <\/p>\n<\/div>

We can be alert and aware of our surroundings, buddy up, and practice self-defense, but sometimes it helps to have a backup in the form of a personal safety device. Mace is an old standby and, although it is a trusted item for self-defense, the market is booming with new, alternative products<\/a> that are dedicated to safety. <\/p>\n<\/div>
