Book Description

Publication Date: May 2007

Detailed and complete, serious and practical, this book deals with the risks posed by sexual predators in a thorough, rational way. It explains how and why they act as they do—online and in the real world. It uses actual cases to show how sex crimes happen. And it gives readers practical advice for how to avoid becoming victims and how to avoid or offset an assault. These cases are taken from the author's original reporting and research. He knows the details—the mechanics, the patterns, the habits—that sex offenders use to locate and select victims. He knows the tricks they use to draw victims toward them. The book explains all of these things.

This review is from: Sexual Predators: How to Recognize Them on the Internet and on the Street - How to Keep Your Kids Away (Paperback)

I have seen this author many many times on the local & national news, he is blunt, direct and in the predators face, it's obvious he cares for the children and teens he fights so hard to protect. I hope every parent takes note from this, I know I'm a better mother from his actions and stories.
