I've seen people on the street get mugged, and didn't feel bad for them. Why won't people just protect themselves?

Most people don't want to be caught in a situation that could become dangerous, and they may not know how to protect themselves, or feel that taking the necessary measures is too much effort. It can be easy to feel helpless and afraid in such situations. Additionally, not all crimes take place in highly visible or unsafe areas - people could be unaware that a crime could happen to them until it's too late. People also may feel safer in groups, but are not necessarily aware if they are being put in a compromised situation. Until people have enough education on safety and protecting themselves, they may not be prepared for every situation. As well as, many people simply choose to avoid potentially dangerous areas. Protecting oneself should always be looked at as a priority, but it is understandable that it may not be top of mind in every situation.
