Publishers Weekly - Salter, known for such novels as
White Lies, offers a direct and startling look at
the alarming problem of sexual predators in the U.S.
Drawing on her experience counseling victims and
offenders, she creates a daunting picture for the
readers. "This is not a book with complete and
comfortable answers. It will not finish with a
checklist for identifying a sex offender.... But if
I do my job right, reading this book will make it
harder for sex offenders to get access to you or
your children," she says in her introduction.
Despite some much publicized media cases, Salter
believes there are many misunderstandings about
sexual predators. Most of the crimes are
premeditated and carefully planned, and fewer than
5% of sexual predators are caught. With anecdotes
and case histories, Salter examines such various
predators as rapists and child molesters. Then, she
goes on to offer some specific strategies to avoid
high-risk situations. These tactics consist of
monitoring children, even teens, on the Internet;
carrying a cell phone; using home security systems,
etc. The descriptions of violent attacks and
victims' experience will undoubtedly unnerve
readers. However, the subject matter is likely to
appeal more to police or psychology professionals.
The strategies the author offers for readers are
usually fairly obvious. While sexual crimes may be
on the increase, readers may see this sex offender book as
necessary only after they've been victimized rather
than as a preventive guide.
Sex
Offender Book
Description - Who are the men committing the rising
number of serial homicides in the U.S. -- and why do
they kill? The increase in these violent crimes over
the past decade has created an urgent need for more
and better information about these men: their crime
scene patterns, violent acts, and above all, their
motivations for committing these shocking and
repetitive murders. This authoritative sexual
homicide book
represents the data, findings, and implications of a
long-term F.B.I.-sponsored study of serial sex
killers. Specially trained F.B.I. agents examined
thirty-six convicted, incarcerated sexual murderers
to build a valuable new bank of information which
reveals the world of the serial sexual killer in
both quantitative and qualitative detail. Data was
obtained from official psychiatric and criminal
records, court transcripts, and prison reports, as
well as from extensive interviews with the offenders
themselves.
Featured in this sexual homicide book is detailed information on the
FBI's recently developed Violent Criminal
Apprehension Program (VICAP) and a sample of an
actual VICAP Crime Analysis Report m.
