Following all these tips will give you confidence and there's no
doubt that striding out, head up, oozing confidence is one of
the best ways of putting off a potential attacker. He won't want
to raise his risk of being caught, so if he thinks you're going to
cause him trouble he's likely to be put off.
When you arrive at your front door have your key ready to go
straight in. Try to wear flat shoes (or have spares with you) and
walk with traffic coming towards you so a car can't creep up
and surprise you from behind.
