She said she isn’t ever nervous about driving through dangerous areas or walking around shady places at night or in foreign countries because she’s not doing anything wrong and those people have no reason to hurt her.

Jugs jokes aside (and I dont think you claimed "no pics" so fess up and post a few) this is a very common mentality and very incorrect. I spend a lot of time in rough areas for work. "no reason to hurt her" is just wrong - do you have a phone, watch, wallet, car? Okay someone has a reason to hurt you and take these things.

That's not to say one should never go through a bad area, but don't go blindly through as if you're a part of the scenery. You're a target and need to be aware of this.
