Nowadays we do hear or read a lot of crimes which targeting the lady or women. From my opinion, the three main reasons women are easy targets for random acts of violence are:
1) Lack of awareness - you need to know where you are and what is around you.
2) Body Language - Keep your head up swing, your arms are straight up.
3) Wrong Place, Wrong Time - Do not go alone in an alley, or drive in a bad neighborhood at night.
Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DO NOT! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get into the passenger side, put a gun to your head and say, where you go.AS SOON as you get into your car, lock the doors AND LEAVE.
A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking garage: Be aware: look around you, look in your car on the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by placing them in their vans while the women who are trying to get into their cars. This is a good reason to park away from large vans.
Watch the car on the driver's side of the vehicle and the passenger side stopped. When a man sits alone in the seat nearest your car, you can go back to the mall, or work, and get a guard / policeman to towalk backout. IT is always better than cure. (Better paranoid than dead.)
Always take the elevator instead of stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places alone and the perfect crime spot to be.) Do not get on an elevator when a spinner is already there. (Of course, bad people does not always look bad.) Do not stand in the back corner of the elevator. Be near the front, from the doors, ready to turn off or on.
