Chances are, you know someone your age who's been a victim of crime. You can steer clear of trouble if you stay aware of your surroundings and what's going on around you. By paying attention, if you see something suspicious you can avoid it. But if you do become a victim of crime, you can report it.

Never ride home in an unlicensed cab. If you need to get home after a night out, always used licensed minicabs that you book in advance or taxi services from official taxi ranks. Use the Cabwise service - text HOME to 60835 and you'll receive a text with the numbers of local minicab services for hire.

Register the details of your mobile phone and other personal property for free with the Immobilise service so that if it's ever stolen or lost, it appears on the national Police stolen property database. This makes it harder for thieves to sell your stuff and in some cases, if it is found by the Police it can be traced back and returned to you.
