The crime rate in society depends on the work of law enforcement and the legislature. The worse they work, the more likely citizens are to become a victim of a criminal. However, personal caution and compliance with some rules will help to avoid this unpleasant fate.
Instruction manual

Fraud is one of the most common crimes. Fraudsters can affect a wide variety of aspects of the nature of a potential victim: from curiosity to pity or greed. Excessive gullibility and uncritical attitude to new or even well-known people can lead to serious troubles. Of course, helping your neighbor is wonderful. However, it does not hinder to still learn about the details of the misfortune that this neighbor complains about, and do not be shy to ask questions if something seemed suspicious to you.

Very often, the victim is trapped in the promise of easy money for almost nothing. You just need to make a small down payment to prove your integrity or pay for training, and then you just have to get a guaranteed profit. This is especially true for work on the Internet. Remember, if the employer offers to pay him in any form so that he will accept you for work, then you are dealing with a scammer.
3
Another common type of fraud is skating, i.e. playing cards for money. If casual acquaintances offer to play cards on a train or on vacation, it’s better not to agree at all or categorically refuse when, after a series of your wins, the offer to play “for little interest” is followed. The taboo on gambling with strangers should become unconditional if you do not want to part with all the money, or even health.
4
The same applies to drinking alcohol with strangers. "Klofelinschiki" can be extremely pleasant, having people for themselves - their professional success depends on it.
5
Be careful in public transport so as not to become a victim of pickpockets. If you are rudely pushed or insulted, first of all hold your handbag tightly or check the pocket in which the wallet lies. Thieves often work in groups: someone pushes to distract the passenger's attention, another at this time cleans his pockets and passes the wallet to a third, which takes the booty to a safe place.
6
It is easiest to become a victim of an attack in deserted, poorly lit places. If you have to regularly walk through this area (for example, returning from work), it is better to wear suitable street shoes in which you can quickly move around. A gas spray can stop the attacker alone, but is unlikely to help against a group of criminals. Try to arrange with the owner of the dog large enough so that he meets you during the evening walk.
Useful advice
If you were attacked in the entrance or near the house, shout something unexpected, for example: “Fire! Burn!” To interest citizens who are indifferent to shouts: “Help!”.
