I've done some volunteer work in some shady parts of town and under some unsafe conditions and the idea that through my actions I might open up a person's mind to the possiblity that everyone isn't out there to harm them is reason enough for me to jeopardize my own safety.
It's amazing how much of an impact such small things like holding the door, putting down the seat, and just being polite can influence how a person feels.
