Recommended for employee safety seminars

This purse-sized book emphasizes the fundamental safety practices that so many of today's women either never learned, or have somehow forgotten. As I read it, I was very thankful that the authors didn't try to create some goofy guerrilla warfare manual that tells how to use an emery board as a weapon! Instead, this book imparts the same, sound, common-sense advice that I try to teach my students in my own self-defense classes. The most common crimes against women can be avoided or averted with the basic, practical advice in this little guidebook.

A great gift for your daughter!

I had the pleasure of meeting the authors at a book signing. I have been trying to find ways to get my 19 yr. old daughter to take her safety a little more seriously. She is a college student living on campus and is at the age where she feels invincible. I bought this book for her in hopes that if she hears it from two police officers, she may pay more attention. She loved the book! She has told her friends about it and has even scoulded me a couple of times for the careless things I do. Thank you for giving me a few less sleepless nights.

Straight to the point and easy to read and understand!!!!

I was completely impressed with this book. The only self-defense book I have read that gets straight to the main objective. These women officers should be commended for a job well done. I will recommend this book to all my female friends!! Write more ladies!!!!

Best self-protection book written!

The only book I have ever seen written by two female cops who have not only interviewed the victims, but also the perpetrators! An inside look at how women can prevent themselves from becoming a victim.
