There is no such thing as being ambushed in low sec. You have the tools at 
hand, you can check the map
to see how many been blown up, podded etc last hour and last 24h. If you run 
a industrial ship, or a
unarmed miner, its just your own stupidity that is to blame if you go into 
low sec and get blown up.

To call players who choosen a profession you dont necessary agree with for 
"antisocial pricks" says more
about you than them to be honest.

There is no difference between 0.4 and 0.1 space, its low sec just the same. 
Same rules applies. EVE is a mmorpg game, with serious focus on the PVP 
aspect. Everything is pvp, wether its to fight someones ship to compete on 
the market to sell your merchandise and corner the competition. You are 
still a rookie imho and I doubt you are able to combat a cup of piss and 
come out of it without reek of it.

1.0 -> 0.5 space is for you. You should also make sure you are in a NPC 
Corp, such as the starter school or the default NPC Corp for your 
race/faction at all times, Because god forbid if someone did war your player 
Corp. 0.4-0.1 space and 0.0 is lawless space, anything goes. The one with 
the biggest gun do the talking. Once you try enter 0.4 or less you get a pop 
up message informing about the dangers. Going to low sec is the players 
choice, and by do so he is bound to accept the risk of doing so. Living in 
low sec and 0.0 require of the player to take better care, and most of all 
get a clue about what to do other than moan about someone "griefed" him by 
blow him up without ask for permission, doh! oO
