Tips for preventing violent crime:
Do:
--Run with a partner.
--Know the location of emergency phones.
--Stay in well-lit areas.
--Take advantage of Harvard's safety resources, such as the shuttle, the escort service and safety walk.
--Be alert to your surroundings.
Don't:
--Run with a walkman.
--Look like a victim. Project confidence.
--Travel alone at night.
--Walk in poorly lighted or unfamiliar areas at night.
--Admit strangers into your dorm. Always ask for ID.
Tips to protect against theft:
--Use a horseshoe-type, steel alloy key lock on your bicycle. Lock it to something stationary and solid enough to resist bolt cutters, such as a sign post, iron fence or bike rack.
--When leaving your room, lock the door even if you will be gone for only a few minutes.
--When leaving your room for vacations, trips or recess periods, store valuables in the security storage areas located in your dorm or take them with you.
--Avoid leaving notes on your door saying you are out.
