///   The Trifecta Technique of Walking Through Dangerous Neighborhoods

      Act Like You Belong

This is true urban camouflage. To appear, not just visually but via personality, as if you’re a resident or otherwise inherent part of the community. By the way you dress, speak, walk and mannerisms along with prompted direct social engineering tactics.

      Act Like You Know Where You’re Going

Your movement, including momentum, pace, style of walking (gait) and visual cues of seeing / looking. It should match with the vicinity of the locale. If unknown or inapplicable, not looking like a tourist is effective; moving with direction, not obviously looking up and around as if to find your bearings.

      Act Like You Know Someone

These are displays of theatrics to solidify your (non-existent) relation to someone within the community; speaking on the phone as if about to meet someone around the corner or waving / nodding to a car or apartment window to show you’re a known person.
