How do you know the safety of any given neighborhood? If you don't
know, you should stay where you know it is safe, and don't go into
an unknown neighborhood until after you have checked it out. You can
learn a lot by reading the newspaper, asking other people, and looking
at crime statistics. If you enter the neighborhood, and there are a
lot of people who don't look like you do, folks standing around doing
nothing, people sleeping on benches, or people wearing gang colors,
then you should at least be on high alert. These broad categorizations
are not fool-proof, however. A random attach is just that--it can
happen anywhere or anytime. The bottom line is that everything you
do in life has some risk, so you just have to deal with it. If you
want to eliminate the risk, then stay home and lock your doors, and
never come out to talk with anyone. Even then, you can get hit by
a tornado, fire, carbon monoxide, or have an aneurism. Its all one
big crap shoot.
