And how does a perpetrator choose? Probably weighting what can be obtained and the cost of potentially getting caught or meeting resistance.

If you, for any reason, fail to block o neutralize the first attack you mind end up in lots of troubles. So while I consider a nice sprint run a good self defence I also advocate a pre-emptive hit and run if you feel to be in life threatening situation. I highly appreciate and I am in strong agreement with the second part of the post with very clever, practical suggestions.
