Summary: True Crime from Guys Who Know!
Review: As a professional security specialist, I can say without hesitation that this book is one of the best written on the subject of street crime. MacYoung and Pfouts know their subject intimately well, and their research into criminal psychology is more thorough than a semester of Criminal Justice in college! I tested the veracity of this book while working as a private investigator; my bosses were retired police detectives, and they were firmly impressed with the knowledge these "civilians" possessed. If you want to safeguard yourself on the mean (and not-so-mean) streets, I highly recommend buying this book and putting its recommendations to use. By the way, I live an hour outside of New York City, and I have seen and identify with much of co-author Pfouts' experiences in the Big Apple. This book is not to be missed.

Summary: Exceptional, truly useful
Review: Debunks many foolish myths about the how's and why's of violent crime. Covers aspects of life at home, in the car, on the street, etc., and deals with many different types of crime. They write about LA and New York in particular, and what they say may seem extreme to readers in safer locales. But this book contains valuable lessons for everyone. Full of useable, specific ideas for keeping ourselves safe. Has a "gritty" and thoroughly authentic flavour to it, and the authors aren't afraid of offending people sometimes -including us readers. That's great, because sometimes we need a jolt to help us face reality and do something about it.

Summary: He'sTaken Many Beatings for This Knowlege, Be Smart Read It
Review: If you have never read a book or seen a video from Marc "Animal" MacYoung, you are in for a very different experience. MacYoung relies on many of his own street experiences to pass along information and techniques. This results in some wild tales and the liberal use of "street" language throughout the book. (Sometimes I wonder if Paladin puts their authors up to this). You'd probably not want your mother to read this, but for the reader who needs to get streetwise fast, take advantage of MacYoung's experience and skip the beatings of your own.Brad Parker, Defend University

Summary: Intense talking with no straight answers.
Review: Imagine a pack of wolves circling a... fox. The moment the pack strikes (topic reaches the answer) lord redfur has beamed to (choose) astral plane, ufo, vixen's burrow. The book reads as if someone copied loose files from Animal and Pfouts, it holds no truth which is not known from "crime prevention" tv or local police. Sadly, I hoped I would be wrong with Animal, but his works declined after Violence, Blunder & Cheap Shots. The one crime I found is that trees are killed to give useless dabbling a bookform.
