Sarah With the proliferation of digital cameras in mobile phones, and the relative cheapness of digital cameras themselves, I would urge having at least one of those when you walk your dog. When a potential threatening situation arises take out your camera/phone and under the pretense of taking photos of your pet and/or accompanying friends/children make it overtly obvious you are taking pictures. Make sure any photo angles can also capture activities of potential threats and their activities. If you are challenged about such activity you need to enforce you are taking photos of you pet/friend etc and are fully within your rights to do so. By using this method you build up a library of evidence that identifies people and activities that are operating either outside the law or in an uncivilised manner. This hard evidence is what is required to move your case on with the authorities. I have personally found by stuffing a video phone into the equation and exclaiming to potential assailants that 'it is recording video right now' has diffused the situation resulting in the assailants leaving rather quickly taking their frustration with them. The one thing these people cannot hide from, and that is photographic evidence. Good luck.
