Not only have you made a personal risk assessment, you've done so purposefully: it's useful to determine whether it's worth buying a hi-vis jacket, it's not useful to determine the chances of an unpredictable, unpreventable Bad Man.

I have a post-bullying fear of young men shouting, so I try to be aware of who's around and where. I often walk down the middle of back streets rather than on the pavement; I often take a longer route along a main road rather than (say) the unlit paths through the local park and churchyard. It's not fear of someone lying in wait but fear of catching someone's attention.

Like the bee sting I've never had, it might be valuable for me to be mugged just to get it in perspective.
