"I've never been able to understand this type of response but conclude that maybe this picking apart the victims actions comes from people fortunate enough to have not had random violence placed on them. Or maybe it creates enough fear in them that they try to find a reason why it wouldn't happen to them and search for a reason or explanation why the crime was enacted. I don't know..."
Or maybe it comes from having grown up in a neighbourhood where crime and creeps are all to common.

Sadly I have to move back to London. Living the dream on a Greek Island is temporarily over. I have to put my 3 kids who have only ever known freedom and carefree abandon into an innercity Borough. So am I going to sign a zillion petitions and protest outside the Town Hall for the local council to clear up the scum? Maybe, but while it falls on deaf ears I will in the meantime drill in to their beautiful minds a crash course in Streetwise. If anything happend God forbid, to one of my babies, would I say they were asking for it? Never! Would I ever be so smug to think it would never happen to me? I know better than that.
