The level of crime in society depends on the work of law enforcement agencies and the legislature. The worse they work, the more chances citizens have of becoming a victim of a criminal. However, personal care and adherence to some rules will help to avoid this unpleasant fate.

Step 1
Fraud is one of the most common crimes. Fraudsters can affect a variety of aspects of a potential victim's character, from curiosity to pity or greed. Excessive gullibility and an uncritical attitude towards new or even familiar people can lead to serious trouble. Of course, helping your neighbor is wonderful. However, it doesn’t hurt to learn about the details of the misfortune that this neighbor is complaining about, and do not hesitate to ask questions if something seemed suspicious to you.
Step 2
Very often the victim is lured into the trap with the promise of easy money for almost nothing. You just need to make a small initial contribution to prove your good faith or pay for the tuition, and then you will only have to receive a guaranteed profit. This is especially true when working on the Internet. Remember, if the employer offers to pay him in any form to hire you, then you are dealing with a scammer.
Step 3
Another common type of fraud is "skating", ie. playing cards for money. If you on the train or on vacation are offered to play cards by random acquaintances, it is better not to agree at all or categorically refuse, when, after a series of your winnings, an offer to play "for little interest" will follow. The taboo on gambling with strangers should become unconditional if you do not want to part with all your money, and even your health.
Step 4
The same applies to drinking alcohol with strangers. "Klofelinschiki" can be extremely pleasant, endearing people - their professional success depends on it.
Step 5
Be careful on public transport in order not to fall prey to pickpockets. If you are rudely pushed or insulted, the first step is to hold your purse tighter or check the pocket that contains your wallet. Thieves often work in groups: someone pushes to distract the passenger's attention, another at this time cleans out his pockets and hands the wallet to a third, who takes the loot to a safe place.
Step 6
It is easiest to fall victim to an attack in uninhabited, poorly lit areas. If you have to traverse these areas on a regular basis (for example, when returning from work), it is best to wear suitable outdoor shoes, in which you can move quickly. A gas canister will be able to stop an attacker alone, but it is unlikely to help against a group of criminals. Try to arrange with the owner of a dog that is large enough to greet you during your evening walk.
