Surviving a Stalker

Surviving a Stalker : Everything You Need to Know to Keep Yourself Safe -- by Linden Gross Most people believe that stalkers only target the rich and famous, not the average citizen. The truth is, stalking is one of the most prevalent yet overlooked forms of domestic violence in America today, with an estimated 1.4 million people nationwide stalked each year. And that figure does not even include the rising number of people being harassed on the Internet. Surviving a Stalker, the ultimate practical guidebook to surviving stalking, provides all the necessary tools you need to handle obsessive attention and to regain control of your life. Journalist and stalking expert Linden Gross offers a wealth of invaluable guidance, including: * How to recognize and control those natural reactions that might put you at risk; * How to handle inappropriate attention on- and off-line and break the stalking cycle; * How to protect your privacy and safety as well as that of your loved ones. Gross explains how these dangerous obsessions begin, the patterns they take, and what potential victims can do before the nightmare becomes a reality. Surviving a Stalker will help all victims, as well as potential victims, keep themselves safe and be a vital resource for all professionals who counsel them. $24.95

The Truth About Safety

The Truth About Self-Protection, by Massad Ayoob This book is one of the best "self defense" books on the market. Massad Ayoob, a legend in the law enforcement and personal protection world, goes beyond the standard "tips" for self defense. He address many different things such as locks, martial arts, weapons, psychological stress, and much more. There are some draw backs such as poor illustrations on certain "hand to hand" combat techniques, but overall, it does not effect the top notch presentation. This book is written for anyone, and especially the novice or the person who is trying to decide if "survivialism" (word used by Ayoob) is for them. Even if it isn't, there are tips that can still minimize the risk of being a victim without learning how to be an expert combat killing machine. The book is realistic as he has chapters about the moral dilemmas and psychological trauma one may encounter when trying to defend themselves or someone else. After working Law Enforcement for 12 years and being involved in the martial arts for over 20, I can give someone searching for self protection ideas a confident nod that this book is one of the best! $24.95 (Delivery may require 2 to 6 weeks depending on availability)

Protecting the Gift

Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane), by Gavin de Becker Be warned: In many ways this is a terrifying book. It deals with violence against children--such situations, though rare, can occur, so all parents must deal with the facts in order to protect their children properly. De Becker's aim is to create awareness of potential dangers and provide parents with the knowledge necessary for prevention and control. In this valuable book, he shatters many myths about the typical profiles of regular offenders and the prevalence of such problems as sexual abuse and kidnapping. He also deconstructs the wisdom of traditional maxims such as "Never talk to strangers" and "If you are ever lost, go to a policeman." He identifies warning signals and real risks that are often easy to spot once you know what to look for. He offers practical advice on recognizing signs of sexual abuse, choosing a baby sitter or nanny, how to prepare kids for walking to school alone, and how to teach children about potential risks without making them afraid to venture out of the house. And he continually stresses that denial and ignoring intuition are the biggest mistakes that parents make in protecting their kids from those that mean them harm. Protecting the Gift affords parents more confidence and less reason for unnecessary worry. $23.50

Strong on Defense

Stong on Defense: Survival Rules to Protect You and Your Family from Crime One of the most IMPORTANT books you can ever read!, It is absolute must reading. I've taught martial arts for a number of years, and the one thing that has always bothered me is- many of the techniques and skills taught have nothing to do with surviving real life violence. Teaching a woman to punch will not save her from a rapist or carjacker. Strong stresses over and over again how important the will to survive is. He explains that your goal in any violent situation is to ESCAPE that situation with your life. Many systems of martial arts teach the idea or concept of "defeating" the attacker. This is likely the worst mistake you could ever make. It locks you into a struggle with him, it cuts down your chance to escape, you must prevail or perish. A more sensible choice is to attack savagely to buy yourself some room so that you can escape. Everything Strong says is well thought out and logical. He graphically shows what REALLY happens to victims of crime. You need t! ! his information. Reading this book could save you or your family's life. Get it! $24.95

Attack Proof for Women

Attack Proof : The Ultimate Guide to Personal Protection For Women by John Perkins, Al Ridenhour, Matt Kovsky While there are some great books out there and although these guides help in assessing the potential dangers of certain individuals they fall short in the area of what to do if you are actually suddenly attacked. I have been taught by various members of local police departments on how to defend myself and have seen many videos as well as studied the methods of authors of self defense. I found that the information found in ATTACK PROOF by John Perkins has been the most effective in helping women overcome a great amount of anxiety and has actually aided them when it came to having more courage when it came to actual legal actions. It is the one book which in reality gives the female an even playing ground when it comes to facing danger in the form of a dangerous man. If you are in trouble or know someone who is then along with getting help from professionals in the field of women's safety get this book. I can't recommend it enough. $26.95
