The Street Code
-
Don’t plug in your headphones or talk and text on your mobile phone whilst walking
-
Keep vigilant to what is going on around you
-
Carry your bag across the front of your body, not just over your shoulder, and keep it closed
-
Don’t advertise expensive jewellery to thieves, keep them out of sight
-
Keep with friends there’s safety in numbers
-
Purchase a personal attack alarm and keep it close to hand
-
If you feel nervous or unsafe then trust your instincts, they’re probably right
