Street Safety for Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781976563676)

Informed decisions are the best decisions which is the reason why the first part of this book looks at the latest FBI and law enforcement data on sexual predators. How does he select his victims? What is he looking for? What "signals" do you inadvertently send that he keys in on? The answers to these questions are important and is why the psychological make-up of a predator is explored early in this book since by knowing how he thinks you will be in a much better position to avoid or deal with an assailant in the unlikely event you find yourself confronted by one. It is better to know what to do and never use that information than need it and not know what to do....it comes down to being prepared in today's society. Another important aspect that plays strongly in the mind of a sexual predator is how you present yourself, viz. the bio-feedback that you inadvertently give. In this regard, a self-evaluation is provided and recommendations on how to present yourself in such a manner that a sexual predator will chose to ignore you. By not giving off the "signals" that a typical predator is looking for, he most likely will pass you bye. From just reading this you probably are wondering if in fact a predator actually evaluates a lady and "selects" his victim. The answer is yes, he does. The material presented is a result of the latest information available from the government, FBI and law enforcement. The techniques illustrated, should the confrontation turn physical, are from Japanese Ju Jitsu - a martial art developed by small stature people to defend against larger adversaries and has been time-tested over 2,000 years. The objective is to learn a small set of simple techniques and understand how they can apply in many situations. It also cannot be overemphasized that the mental attitude of the defender - you - is paramount to maintaining a safe lifestyle. It is why there is a comprehensive checklist at the end of the book to identify safety issues to consider. The will to survive and live freely is strong within each of us and especially among women who have a very strong family protective instinct. I am always impressed when teaching a Women's Street Safety class of how ridiculous the phrase "weaker sex" really is. With a strong mental attitude that can be brought to mature at a moment's notice from training in classes, women can survive an encounter. All this information helps one to become more educated, hones one's judgment and aids in developing intuition. This is the essence for this book, to help educate so one can recognize a situation before there is a problem and reduce the chances of having a problem.
