Sometimes--not always, a crime is one of opportunity. If you present the opportunity, a criminal that would not have otherwise committed that crime AGAINST YOU, will take the opportunity. If you make yourself less of an easy target the crime may still occur, just less likely to YOU.
So should you leave yourself vulnerable and " take one for the team " to prove a point?. I'd rather not. That's why I lock my doors and don't leave my iPhone on my front seat with the windows rolled down.

This! We're going to tell our daughters that there's absolutely nothing they can do to mitigate risks? We're not going to teach them some basic self-defense? We're not going to teach them to meet new guys at a coffee shop at noon instead of at his house at midnight? All for fear of "blaming the vistim?" Come on, Chemda.
