27 CLOSE CALLS is a very special book. It can make you or someone you love safer than they have ever been. How? By sharing stories of women who got into dangerous situations, but came out okay, and how they did it. Based on hundreds of actual close calls, it provides the best ideas on how to get safe from virtually any situation.
In addition to the 27 close calls described in the book, you will discover the Close Call Method™, which says that every close call is a learning opportunity. By learning from both your own and other’s experiences, you can be safer than even a self-defense expert. Why? Because the methods of predators are known and knowable, and when you learn them through 27 CLOSE CALLS, you can spot danger coming before it gets too close.
In order to create this new safety-from-violence™ method, the Close Call Investigators at Strider Lab, the nation’s first Safety-From-Violence™ lab, developed a whole new lexicon that includes “heroes”, safety situations”, “close calls” (a situation in which there is imminent danger or violence that could have been worse), and “hero moves”.
As one Police Chief said, “This book is a game-changer – it will literally save lives.” 27 CLOSE CALLS includes strategies and suggestions for daily living, dating, working and more for a total of seven threat areas that all adult women should know. These ideas come from not just the women themselves, but also from experienced investigators, many of whom are former police officers or federal agents.
There are amazing stories that include everything from walking through a dark parking lot at night to going on an internet date to hooking up with a stranger. And what happens next in each story is just like real life; it may be an innocent encounter, a sketchy situation or an outright attack that includes date rape, assault, kidnapping, or even attempted murder.
At least one out of four women will be violently attacked in their lifetimes and up to 90% will be the target of one or several predators. So this is a book every woman should read not only for herself, but for her friends as well. What to do if your friend has been drugged at a bar? How to handle a date rapist? What's the best way to address an armed robber? It's all in the book.
Every chapter has an interesting and actual story, many of which read like whodunnits. Except that the question is not who done it?, but rather what's the best way to deal with a situation like that?
