The second of eight programmes about self-defence presented by Sarah Kennedy. The successful pickpocket will have picked a pocket or two, or even three, and you won't have felt a thing. What can you do? Quite a lot, and most of it will involve making the pickpocket's life more difficult in the first place. Do you know which kind of handbag is most thief-proof? Do you know the safest place to keep your wallet? Do you know what ruses pick-pockets use to distract you? And if these precautions fail, there's a simple self-defence technique you can learn to keep the pickpocket at arm's length.
