If you feel things are about to take a turn for the worse, leave.

Always walk on the side of the road that opposes traffic. This puts distance between you and a car that might be trying to follow you

Basically, just be aware of your surroundings. A lack of situational awareness can lead to some bad things.
最基础的，一定要注意你周围的环境。缺乏环境意识可能会导致一些不好的事情。

Use windows as mirrors to see your blind spots or to check behind you. Literally every window you walk past, you should take a quick glance to know what’s going on in your blind spots. You can almost completely get rid of blind spots altogether because of windows.
用窗户作为镜子，可以看到你的盲点或检查身后。实际上，你走过的每一扇窗户，你都应该快速瞥一眼你的盲点上发生了什么。因为有窗户，你几乎可以完全摆脱盲点。

Don't walk into the street texting, tweeting, meme-ing, etc. I've seen people walking straight into traffic because of this
不要在街上边走边发短信、发推特、发表情包等等。我见过有人因为这个直接走进车流

Shadows can also be useful to pay attention to when you’re trying to peek behind you or see if there’s someone around a corner
当你试图从背后偷窥或者看到拐角处是否有人的时候，注意影子也很有用

Cops will take the side of anyone that speaks calmly every time no matter the circumstances
无论在什么情况下，警察都会站在说话冷静的人一边

Walk confident on the street. Thieves often target people who lack confidence, appear nervous or walk irregularly.
自信地走在街上。小偷经常把目标对准那些缺乏自信、显得紧张或走路不规律的人。

Walk like you know where you're going, make eye contact with strangers, and don't wear fancy clothes/purses/backpacks when walking around the neighborhood or using public transport
