<p>I don’t have to worry about getting robbed… New Haven is NOTHING compared to ATL :-P. But, obviously, if a street has houses that resemble houses from “Dangerous Minds” or another movie like it, don’t go that way. 
Also, have a razor/knife/stungun/firearm/billy club/pepper spray/mace/chinese throwing stars/etc. along with a cell phone and camera (or camera-phone) with you to beat down the criminal’s ass, take a picture of the assailant, and call the police.</p>
