Title: Fear sells and WE are buying (unfortunately)
Product review: I had hoped that this book might contain some practical advice about techniques that people could use to be more aware of their surroundings and the clues that may let them know that they are in a dangerous situation.What I got was a diatribe about what a terrifying world we live in, backed up by statistics that the author doesn't bother to back up or provide sources for in any way. And many of the statistics that the author recklessly spews are easy to look up and falsify! I guess that Mr. De Becker forgot that discerning, responsible readers could use a simple search engine to fact check his claims about the numbers of sexual assaults, rapes, murders, etc and find them to be very, very wrong. Mr. De Becker appears to have just made up the numbers induce "fear" in his readers.If you buy Mr. De Becker's book you will be the victim of crime, the crime of fraud! And Mr. De Becker is the perpetrator.
