When out and about at night it is important to stay vigilant. Try not to wander around by yourself, particularly in areas you are unfamiliar with. If you do have to venture out alone, then have your cell phone at the ready; although, don’t text and make unnecessary phone calls that can distract you from your surroundings.

I also recommend keeping a pepper gel 4oz spray in your purse or pocket. Just a small squirt can have a big impact. Depending on the strength of the spray, a would-be attacker can be incapacitated long enough for you to get to safety and call the police.
