To become a victim of any crime is a huge stress for a person, not to mention the fact that it is very life-threatening. And if there are any opportunities to avoid committing this crime, you must definitely take advantage of them.
Instructions
Step 1
Avoiding a robbery on the street or in the entrance is not so difficult. The main thing is to behave carefully and not be exposed to unnecessary danger. The most important rule here is not to walk late at night after dark on unlit streets, especially alone. Criminals love to act under the cover of darkness when their actions are not so visible to others, so you should not give them a reason to attack you.
Step 2
If you have to find yourself on a dark street at a later time of day, carefully examine the courtyard or street where you will have to walk. It is better to wait for at least one passer-by like you and follow him, or make sure that no strange and suspicious persons are waiting near the entrance or at the corner. Be vigilant when you go up to your entrance so that some stranger does not come after you.
Step 3
If you have to return late and you know about it in advance, try not to put on gold jewelry, leave flashy things at home, and do not take a large amount of money with you. Do not give potential criminals the opportunity to profit from your expense, be vigilant in advance. Moreover, you should not let the teenager go for walks or business at night and allow him to wear expensive jewelry or a mobile phone.
Step 4
If at the entrance you find an unknown person, do not enter the elevator with him - this is one of the most convenient places for committing crimes. Take care of your own safety, it is better to stay downstairs and pretend that you are busy: looking for keys, picking up your mail. Wait for the suspicious subject to go upstairs, if this does not happen, go up to your floor on foot. In this case, even if he follows you, you can always call your neighbors, shout and call for help in order to attract attention. At the entrance, you can get your phone and call your relatives to meet you: the proximity of another person will push the offender away from the thought of attacking.
Step 5
Do not give your phone to strangers on the street, even if they ask to call an ambulance. Do not provoke a potential criminal to grab the phone and run away with it. If necessary, you can dial the number yourself and send the person's words to the subscriber.
Step 6
If, nevertheless, there is a threat of robbery, do not resist and do not fight the criminal. He is most likely stronger than you and may have a weapon with him. Give him the required items and try to remember as best as possible the features of his face and what he is wearing, although this is very difficult in a stressful situation. Then immediately contact the police to catch the robber "in hot pursuit".
