I was given this book when I was in nursing school I think it is the bible of what to do if you're in that situation I watch a lot of crime some are true life experiences and I can see if the tactics were used,the ones in the book,the situation could/would of turned out better I think all pre-teen agers and older should read this book with all the crime and danger in the world today I think this book would help every one should read it and pass it on to the people they care about
