你可以通过了解你的环境和保持警惕，使你容易受到伤害的情况来预防犯罪. 以下是你在日常生活中如何做到这一点的几个例子.
Protecting Yourself
While Walking
- If at all possible, never walk alone.
- If you cannot find someone to walk with you, 请致电410-777-1818与公共安全和警察局联系，要求护送.
- If you absolutely have to walk alone, walk on well-lighted, well-traveled walkways and plan your route ahead of time. 避开攻击者可能藏身的地方(如停放的汽车之间的空间), overgrown shrubs, 黑暗的通道)和你可能走投无路的地方. Remember that it is best to walk facing traffic.
- 如果有人跟踪你，要表现得很自信，让他或她知道你知道他们的存在. Don't be polite or engage in conversation.
- 如果他们继续跟着你，穿过马路或者改变方向.
- If this doesn't work, 朝其他人或有人居住的建筑物走去，远离可能被逼入绝境的地方.
- 如果有人在车里跟踪你，并且坚持不懈或变得猥亵, 记下车牌号码，并尽快向公共安全和警察局报告.
While Driving
- 如果有人一直跟着你，或者变得下流, 记下牌照号码，并尽快向适当的警察机构或公共安全和警察部门报告.
- 如果你被困在车里，快速短时间地按喇叭. This will attract people's attention.
- 当你离开你的车时，确保所有的车门都锁上了.
- When returning to your car, 准备好你的钥匙，这样你就可以快速进入你的车，并了解你周围的环境. If you have to look into a purse or a pocket to find them, 这需要额外的时间，你会忽略你周围的东西, which could allow someone to sneak up on you.
- 当你靠近你的车时，看看下面，确保没有人藏在那里. 在你进入你的车之前，看看是否所有的门都锁上了，或者是否有任何不请自来的乘客坐在后座或地板上. 如果你的门锁不像你离开时那样了或者你看到有人在里面, 尽快离开该地区，并通知公共安全部门和警方.
- Don't pick up hitchhikers.
On Buses and Subways
- Use well-lit, busy stops.
- Stay alert! Don't doze or daydream.
Working Late
- 让别人知道你将在哪里工作以及你预计什么时候回家. 确保你的家人和朋友知道你的工作电话. 当你到达你的工作站时打电话，在离开回家之前再打一次.
- 携带一个便携的，电池供电的高分贝警报装置或响亮的哨子.
- 在钱包里或钥匙环上放一个小手电筒, 尽量把车停在光线充足的地方，走在光线充足的人行道上.
- 当你走近相应的门时，手里要拿着钥匙和门禁卡, keeping them readily available. Make sure locked doors close and lock behind you.
- Keep your workstation or office locked after hours.
- 当你回到你的车，注意附近可疑的人，并把你的钥匙在你的手中. Check the interior of your vehicle before getting in.
Protecting Your Property
Preventing Thefts from Vehicles
- 为方向盘或点火装置安装车辆警报器或机械锁.

- 知道你的车辆的牌照号码、年份、品牌和型号.
- 任何时候都不要把钱、支票簿或信用卡留在车内.
