Description
Covering all the dangerous situations people typically face -- street crime, domestic abuse, violence in the workplace -- de Becker provides real-life examples and offers specific advice on restraining orders, self-defense, and more. But the key to self-protection, he demonstrates, is learning how to trust -- and act on -- our own intuitions.
Description
De Becker feels that the fundamentals of human violence, and the associated fundamentals of safety, have not changed since the first edition of this work was published in 1997. But the increased role of the Internet and social media provides a wider menu of intrusive strategies for perpetrators, as well as great anonymity to unwanted pursuers and less privacy to their targets. Covering all the dangerous situations people typically face, de Becker provides real-life examples and offers specific advice on restraining orders, self-defense, and more. But the key to self-protection, he demonstrates, is learning how to trust-- and act on-- our own intuitions. -- adapted from Foreword to the New Edition [pages [xi]-xiv] and info provided
