Sadly, we all live in a world where on any given day we could find
ourselves the victim of a crime. Crimes committed by pedophiles,
rapists, and other sex offenders are commonplace in today's
society, as are property crimes, cybercrimes, and crimes against
the elderly. This practical and pertinent book, which draws from
the author's lengthy experience as a New York State parole officer,
is a survival tool that should be available to everyone. In
addition to offering an entertaining overview of his career, the
author offers concise guidelines for protecting against a multitude
of crimes. It is, without question, a "must read" for parents,
teachers, students, senior citizens, and the many others. The book
is filled with several thought-provoking, true-life cases that we
can all learn from. Many of them could have had different endings
had the victims reacted in a more appropriate fashion. An overview
of the author's career gives readers insights on how to increase
their "awareness level" and ultimately develop a "proactive"
protection plan that will help them better protect themselves and
their children. Joe Greco is a retired New York State parole
officer, with more than thirty years of experience working in the
New York State Criminal Justice System. He worked closely with
juvenile and adult offenders who committed just about every crime
imaginable. In addition, he undertook many special assignments
during his career, including supervising a caseload composed
exclusively of convicted sex offenders. He was a New York State
certified instructor for decades, with expertise in the areas of
firearms, defensive tactics, street survival, and general topics
instruction. The author interviewed thousands of offenders as well
as countless victims of senseless crimes. His vast experience has
given him a unique, firsthand perspective regarding how these
criminals think, as well as the criteria that they use when looking
for their next victim .
