always carry a wallet with $50-100 in it. If someone mugged you, then that was a bribe to them so they wont hurt you. You were to simply be as submissive as possible and then give up your wallet to them without a word.
Interesting state of affairs, reminds me of feudal days when travelers had to pay tribute to the robber barons. Another reason not to live in NYC I guess.

It worked and worked pretty well
Especially for the muggers. I am surprised more people didn't do it. Imagine you are out of cash downtown and you can just mug the nearest women or old person and you are set for the week!

And that was just one guy! Imagine what 100 plus would have done!
