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

While it is ultimately each individual’s responsibility to take steps to protect themselves from harm, many people lack the knowledge and resources to effectively do so. Others may feel like they have done everything they could or are scared of potential repercussions from intervening. Additionally, the possibility of becoming the victim of a crime can be so scary that some may choose to avoid certain areas and take other precautions to remain safe. Everyone is entitled to make the choices that are right for them and it is up to each of us to educate ourselves and take appropriate action to protect ourselves from harm.
