Inside the Criminal Mind
 | Inside the Criminal Mind: Revised and Updated Edition author: Stanton Samenow rating:  asin: 140004619X binding: Hardcover list price: $25.00 USD amazon price: $16.50 USD |
Have you ever asked: “How could a person do such a thing to another person?” “Why doesn’t he seem to care for others at all?”
Is there something about the permissive society of Dr. Spock that disturbs you? Do you wish to see the courts put real teeth into the way the law is written?
There is a really great cartoon in which Frank turns drunkenly to the bartender and says, “My therapist believes in Reality Therapy so now he’s blaming me for everything I do!”

Definition: trite:
* banal: repeated too often; overfamiliar through overuse; “commonplace," "hackneyed."
This book is NOT trite! but so common as to have become trite is the current wisdom that in a self defence situation, “your mind is your best weapon.”
This implies that gadgets, martial arts, self defence classes and ignoring the reality of violence will not work to save you from the violence you are facing. This book brings a tone of realism to the trite.
Real Crimes, Real Criminals
Peyton writes about Real Crimes, Real Criminals:
RMCAT classes are reality based and to accomplish that we have interviewed convicts, killers and criminal assailants of most every kind. This video is a collection of some of those very interviews. In talking to violent, convicted felons we learn how they select their victims and very importantly why they will pass on a given individual as a potential victim if they spot certain behaviors in them.
The Gift of Fear
 | The Gift of Fear author: Gavin De Becker asin: 0440226198 binding: Mass Market Paperback list price: $7.99 USD amazon price: $7.99 USD |
"True fear is a gift.
Unwarranted fear is a curse.
Learn how to tell the difference."
Not a how to book but still the absolute best buy in the self defense market place - you will not go wrong taking a good look at his analysis and advice which will help you to predict violent behavior.
This book is full of true, emotionally charged stories of violence upon innocent victims. These stories are analysed so we may understand the why’s and how’s of violence that we may prepare ourselves better to escape it when it visits us.
