Out of the two presented illustrations I would choose the second one, showing a pickpocket reaching for a young woman's purse in what seems to be a bus or a metro car. The woman is not paying attention to what is going around her - she is holding a mobile phone in one hand and she is using the other hand to hold on to the bus/car's handle. I prefer this illustration because the danger presented on it is much more common nowadays than the plain street crime. And it is much harder to avoid and prevent. Moreover, this illustration contains bright colours and a young woman - all these elements attract viewers' attention and make them think about the danger. The other illustration, showing a thug waiting for a victim is very dark and may not make such impression on viewers.

1. No, crime is not a serious problem where I live. There are some apparent dangers like pickpockets, vandalism or car theft but their number has been greatly reduced by our efficient local police. Of course you still have to be careful when walking back home in the middle of the night, so it's better to call a taxi.
2. People have to be careful. They should avoid going to places where crime rate is very high. They should avoid walking to dangerous places at night. It's always better to call for a taxi than to walk alone at night. As for pickpockets - they shouldn't wear an open bag or keep their wallet in a back pocket. They should always keep their valuables well hidden and close.
