Regretfully, I have some experience in impoverished areas of the world. I currently live in a verifiable "ghetto".

Guidelines can be provided, but only caution, common sense, alertness and the ability to learn can see one through rough "urban" patches. Besides, one of the most dangerous situations I encountered was in a small southern Indiana town. Common sense saw me through that encounter.

Predators are the same, regardless of culture & language. Various "lures" change, but they're all the same.

No, I have chosen to live in safer areas since my service ended. If the Reserves send me overseas again, I'll take my experience with me. However, one doesn't need to go to the above-mentioned cities to find danger. Its in our own towns & cities.

Knowledge and preparedness improve your chances. We all know that.
