Your typical mugger is looking for a quick, easy target. He doesn't want to hang around, for reasons that are relatively apparent. 'Easy targets' tend to boil down to people who are on their own, people who seem uncertain and (unfortunately) the elderly. When she's out, her best defense is to not be caught alone at any time. If she's out at night she needs to stay in well lit areas and not meander; it's always a good idea to go directly to your car with your keys out an ready, or go directly to the cab if you're taking one of those instead of driving (I'm assuming she's not walking her shopping home). If you are waiting for a cab, make sure you wait inside if possible.
