Written in a manner that can be easily understood by the average citizen who may lack any formal training in the areas of situational awareness and personal safety.Not everyone carries a gun or studies martial arts, that’s why this book focuses on the skillsets necessary to detect and avoid violent encounters.Breaks the information into three easy to follow phases. Phase one increases the readers understanding of predatory mindset and violence. Phase two walks the reader through the development of proper situational awareness. Phase three provides the reader with the methods for implementing what they’ve learned, and instructions for how to increase their level of personal security.Criminals pick their victims (soft targets) in under a minute and base it largely on the victim’s body language.
