There is no reason to live in fear of crime and violence. There is however reason to take reasonable precautions. In doing so, you will have deterred most criminals from choosing you as their victim.

The reason is simple; there are thousands of people around who are easier and safer targets. The harder you make it for the criminal to victimize you, the more likely he is to go ply his trade elsewhere. You won't have stopped the criminal from being a criminal, but you will have stopped him from choosing you as a victim.

This means knowing how the criminal amd violent people think and what they need to succeed. These aren't good people gone bad, they're bad people; gone worse. You also need to understand what provokes violence, what violence really is and that it comes in many different levels. Without this fundamental understanding, there can be no cohesiveness in what you do to protect yourself (and your property).
