1. It is not so difficult to avoid robbery on the street or in the stairwell. The main thing to behave carefully and not to be exposed to unnecessary danger. The most important rule here is not to walk after nightfall the dark streets, especially alone late at night. Criminals like to act under favor of the darkness when their actions are not so noticeable for people around therefore they should not give a reason to attack you.
2. If you had to be on dark street in late time of day, attentively examine the yard or the street where you should go. It is better to wait at least for one same passerby as you, and to pass behind him, or to make sure that does not wait for any strange and suspicious persons near an entrance or at the corner. Be vigilant when you rise to yourself in an entrance that for you some stranger did not come.
3. If you have to come back late and you foreknow about it, try not to put on yourself gold jewelry, leave at home bright things, do not take the large sum of money. Do not give to potential criminals the chance to profit at your expense, be vigilant in advance. Especially you should not release the teenager at night on walks or on affairs and to allow it to wear expensive jewelry or the mobile phone.

Take care of own safety, better remain below and pretend that are busy: you look for keys, you take away mail. Wait when the suspicious subject leaves upward if it does not occur – rise by the floor on foot. In this case, even if it for you will be coordinated, you can always call apartments to neighbors, shout and call to the aid to draw attention. In the stairwell it is possible to get phone and to call relatives that they met you: the proximity of other person will push away the criminal from a thought of attack.
5. Do not give the phone to strangers on the street even if they ask to call the ambulance. Do not provoke the potential criminal to pull out phone from hands and to escape with it. If necessary it is possible to dial number independently and to transfer the words of the person to the subscriber.
