I special ordered it from Bookstar a couple of years ago after hearing one of the authors on a local talk radio show. It took awhile but it is a great book. No I am not some gun totting right wing whacko but a moderate Republican type and his book goes into all sorts of great crime fighting / deterrence ideas. The authors have chapters on self defense weapons from non-lethal to firearms and tells pros and cons. From Pepperspray w/ CS w/ UV dye to six shot .357 revolvers ( over semi-automatic pistols - no jams and great stopping power ). They also go into situational details of attacks and how to avoid and survive them. I am saddened that they don't have a new edition. Great book.

Secure from Crime is a down to earth book about the truth of society. We, as individuals have to learn to protect ourselves, and our loved ones. Protect yourself in your car, on the street, or in your home, it is all in this book. Diagrams on how to "fortify" your home, and how to safely protect yourself without using deadly force are other examples.

This book has everything you need to know to keep yourself safe from crime. There is an updated version, which is titled "Conquer Crime".

The new version is updated and called "Conquer Crime". I liked it enough to get both, although the new one is all you need.

This is a good basic book. Nothing fancy. Many of the things you will read you already know, but probably don't practice. I got it when it was first published and still review it every once in a while. I also recommend it to people who think "It will never happen to me". it is an easy read, straight forward, and well organized. Consider this a Primer for anyone starting to become aware of the need for personal responsibility for their own self-defense. It's a first step, not the last.

When I started reading this book I felt like I had paid dearly for having advices I had gotten for free from my parents, friends, teachers and even from the police. Reading this book
is like traversing a heap of truisms about security. Things
like: lock your door; don't go to places where criminals hangout;
keep your jewels in the safe; don't talk to strangers; so on and
so forth. Reading this book was a waste of time; buying it,
a waste of money.

If you are searching for advices about your own security, keep
searching: this book will not answer your needs.
