Stay safe
On the whole Reading is a safe place, but, like most towns and city's in the nation it can obtain its problems. The centre on a Friday and Saturday night can be intimidating for someone if they are not used to the kind of atmosphere generated.
Just west of Reading town centre and in particular the Oxford Road neighborhood, though improved, has suffered from drug abuse and the sex trade. These areas are similar to those found around London and are best avoided at night. The Forbury Gardens and Abbey ruins, though attractive during the day, are best avoided after dark.
As always just be cautious of your surroundings; it's obvious in Reading when one enters into a rougher area, but generally one's chances of being a victim in Reading are slim.
