You can avoid becoming a victim by avoiding places and situations where an attack may be more likely to occur. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as well as walking through alleys and poorly lit areas. If you have to go out at night, bring a companion, talk on your cell phone while walking, drive on well-traveled routes and park under lights. But sometimes you unknowingly enter a dangerous situation or despite your avoidance efforts, you become threatened anyway. Knowing some fighting techniques can protect you from attack or minimize injury.
