Look someone in the eye when you meet them or see them downtown. It is amazing how well this works.
It makes you aware of what is happening around you and it makes them aware that you have seen them and know their description. Most robbers are not murders and now you have looked them in the eye and said "good evening" they know they have to kill you or find an easier target and they would rather find an easier target. Getting your $20 watch is not worth a murder charge.
Walking with your head up and a direct look says a lot about you! Even if you are shaking inside look confident and look right at them. Don't be afraid to make noise if you think they are approaching you and it is dangerous, tell them to back off. Never go by yourself, have at least two people and still be aware of what is happening.
Make yourself the hard target, let someone else be the easy target...If you can't carry pepper spray, wasp spray works wonders and you can set a can by your door or carry in your car or purse. It squirts a stream approximately 10 to 20 feet and works better then pepper spray. Yes it may damage their eyes but better their eyes then your life.
