Personal Security
It’s important to remember that most crime is against property, not people. The risk of being a victim of a violent crime, such as assault or robbery, is very low.
However, people can find themselves feeling vulnerable to these offences – perhaps because of their age or ethnic origin – or because they are alone or because of where they happen to be at the time.
