How to Protect Yourself from Crime

The most comprehensive self-protection handbook available by one of the world's leading security experts. The president of one of the world's largest security service companies has revised his popular handbook -- the most thorough self-protection guide available -- which covers everything from ways to safeguard doors and windows to pointers on vehicle safety and buying a car alarm, as well as special tips for apartment dwellers and guidance on handling nuisance phone calls. This expanded, illustrated edition also offers information on school and campus security, abuse in day-care centers, computer security, investment fraud, abuse of the elderly, and hospital and nursing home security. Lipman devotes a chapter to rape awareness and prevention, and a special chapter on computer crime outlines a range of precautions and discusses electronic protection, codes and passwords, and recommends ways to protect home computers. In addition to its thorough coverage of crime prevention techniques, "HowTo Protect Yourself From Crime" will help you prepare for all kinds of emergencies -- from fires or earthquakes to preventing kidnap and handling bomb threats. Each chapter contains a checklist to help you ensure that you've attended to every detail. This handbook is a "security insurance" companion no family should be without.
