A Streetwise Guide to Avoid Being Robbed, Raped, Ripped Off, or Run Over
By Mark MacYoung and Chris Pfouts
This entertaining look at how crimes are really committed in America's cites offers detailed, specific information on the latest criminal wrinkles in New York and Los Angeles, the trendsetters for street crime. Today it's happening in the Apple or the Orange - tomorrow it's going on in your neighborhood.
Chris (NY) and Animal (LA) are street-savvy observers of criminals in action in their home territories, in the deserted alleys and 'hoods and parking lots, away from the guardians of law and order - the same circumstances under which you are going to meet these predators.
They can teach you how muggers, carjackers, junkies, rapists, gangbangers, burglars, and con-men play their games, as well as how you can change the rules - or cheat - to stay safe in the city.
Criminals are looking for an easy target. The practical, potentially lifesaving street wisdom in this book will help you harden your defenses and sharpen your wits before you find yourself deep in "Uh-Oh Land" - halfway down an unfamiliar city block, being sighted-in by some unsavory-looking characters, and with that awful sinking realization that you are being, what the authors refer to as, "interviewed" as a prospective victim
