There are some obvious ways to detect threats. If someone has a weapon in their hands, and they are smiling at you, chances are, you are their target. What about cases where the clues aren't so obvious?
One important clue to identifying danger is eye contact. People who have no interest in you will not look at you for more than a split second. Those who keep eyeing you have something on their minds. Be careful of people who eye you. Do not eye them back because that may cause confrontation. Instead, stay calm. Use mirrors or reflections to keep an eye on those people. Maneuver yourself accordingly if they try to approach you. If they do approach, stay square to them and ensure you are not backed into anything. Scream and run if you need to. Do everything to protect yourself.
You may also want to consider the environment. If you are walking through a back alley at night, chances are the people you meet will not be the nicest people. Avoid these dangerous places at all costs. Take a taxi if you must. Call a friend or relative and have them accompany you if possible. If you are walking at night on a street with people, chances are the people there won't hurt you. But beware the eye contact.
