Safe in the City: A Streetwise Guide to Avoid Being Robbed, Ripped Off, Or Run Over by Chris Pfouts,Marc MacYoung Pdf

The more things change, the more they stay the same.Originally written in 1994, Safe in the City spoke of a different landscape of crime, violence, drugs, robbery, gang territories and parts of town to clear out of before night fall. Some of those places have changed for the better, some for worse. What hasn't changed is you can increase your safety by understanding how crime and violence happen. This book tells you how. The ability to read your environment and recognize the signs of developing danger is not difficult. It also gives you more personal safety options than the all or nothing approach of be violent or be a victim.Surprisingly, the most effective personal safety measures are non-violent. There is a time and a place for physical self-defense. Those are extreme situations. In daily life knowledge, common sense, avoidance and deterrence will go further to keep you safe.

One Less Victim by Douglas Setter Pdf

One Less Victim: A Personal Guide to Victim Prevention is about crime victims and their predators. Unlike most self-defense books, One Less Victim explains the more subtle facors that draw criminals to crime victims, ranging from school bullyiing to large scale swindling. This book gives solutions for potential victims to get themselves out of the victim mindset and into one of self-confidence and safety. Who is most vulnerable to theft, assault or robbery? Is it seniors, college women, minorities or young adult males? Does a medical worker have a higher risk for violent attack than a sales manager? What indicates that a school has a high risk for bullying, theft and drugs? Setter describes how some people unknowingly find themselves drawn towards people, places and situations that result in them being robbed, conned, assaulted, brutalized or even murdered. Like any bad habit, victimization often just gets worse. One Less Victim explains: Early crime victim conditioning

Safety Doesn't Have To Be Scary by Marc MacYoung Pdf

Ever watch a horror movie where a character ignores the advice you yell at the screen? You shout, "Don't!" but the person goes to investigate in the creepy basement where the light suddenly doesn't work, and spooky music plays in the background. Those are known danger signs in movies. Crime and violence have clues that are just as obvious-if you know how to recognize them. This book is about you not walking into dangerous situations. It's not a self-defense book; it's about nonviolent responses that will keep you safe. Think of it as "ways to avoid crime and violence without having to resort to force." For most people-by the time things become physical-it's too late. A far more reliable safety strategy is informed, preemptive action to prevent violence. It's also something anyone can do: -Sometimes it's outsmarting bad guys.-Other times it's not angering people.-Often it is knowing how to behave in certain environments.-And it involves developing simple habits that warn you of danger early on.-But most of the time it's knowing when to leave.Staying safe from crime is easy. Better yet crime avoidance has very little impact on your life.Violence itself can be a little more complicated. Most violence happens between people who know each other. It occurs because of pride, emotion, and behavior. In a potentially violent situation between two people-you are fifty percent of the equation. That's not blame-it's power. And it's a power you can use to prevent violence or provoke it. The choices are yours as are the consequences.The first two purposes of this book are recognition and avoidance. A third is to help you after you've had your sense of safety shattered by crime or violence (or coming back from overseas). Once you know what real danger signs are you don't need the stress of hyper-vigilance or a trauma-driven response to situations that aren't physically dangerous.It's not enough to feel safe-together we'll keep you safe.

A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James Pdf

Winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize One of Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Books of the Decade One of the Top 10 Books of 2014 – Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times A “thrilling, ambitious . . . intense” (Los Angeles Times) novel that explores the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in the late 1970s, from the author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines brilliant storytelling with his unrivaled skills of characterization and meticulous eye for detail to forge an enthralling novel of dazzling ambition and scope. On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven gunmen stormed the singer’s house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but much has been whispered, gossiped and sung about in the streets of West Kingston. Rumors abound regarding the assassins’ fates, and there are suspicions that the attack was politically motivated. A Brief History of Seven Killings delves deep into that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica’s history and beyond. James deftly chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters – gunmen, drug dealers, one-night stands, CIA agents, even ghosts – over the course of thirty years as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and ultimately reemerge into the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Along the way, they learn that evil does indeed cast long shadows, that justice and retribution are inextricably linked, and that no one can truly escape his fate. Gripping and inventive, shocking and irresistible, A Brief History of Seven Killings is a mesmerizing modern classic of power, mystery, and insight.

Beyond the Picket Fence by Marc MacYoung Pdf

Rules, traditions of the past, and assumptions... all have been swept away by rapid social change. Instead of freeing people this has left us stressed, confused, unprepared, and unable to navigate different environments and situations that can be more than just hostile. Environments outside suburbia can become dangerous -- especially for teens and young adults. "Beyond the Picket Fence" isn't a self-defense book, but it is very much about what will get you into trouble with people. Arrests, violence, and rapes often befall young people when they go 'out to party.' Originally this book was -- literally -- about how not to get killed while outside suburbia and in places where it is easy to cross unspoken lines. Yet the best meaning prohibitions usually fall on deaf ears. This book takes a different approach. We're not telling young people, "Don't go." We know they'll go. Instead we'll them what they need to look out for when they wander outside their home's picket fence. We'll help them stay out of jail or the emergency room.

The Circle by Dave Eggers Pdf

LONGLISTED 2015 – International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award The Circle is the exhilarating new novel from Dave Eggers, bestselling author of A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award. When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.
