Sexual Assault: Awareness, Prevention, Defense, Response, and Recovery - Paperback

by Daniel E. Loeb (Author)

The author has worked as a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim's Advocate in the military, studied/investigated related issues as a Law Enforcement Officer, and has taught Women's Self-Defense classes. The content of this book contains the basic information related to the topics that the author believes everyone should know. The objective of this book is to expand awareness about Rape, Sexual Assault, and Childhood Sexual Abuse, Prevention/avoidance strategies, defensive information, how to respond/what to do if victimized, and what to expect during a recovery. This book is small, easy to read, and pocket-sized - covering the key concepts related to each topic. Sex Offender Profiles are covered in the two Appendixes of the book. This book will cover the following topics: Awareness, Prevention, Defense, Response, and Recovery from Rape, Sexual Assault, and/or Child Sexual Abuse. These topics are unpleasant to think about, but regrettably, the dangers they represent, and the impact/devastation caused in the lives of the victims of these crimes, necessitates the urgent need to discuss these topics, and to seriously contemplate the information. These topics are important to understand, because 1 in 4 women and 1 in 11 men are already victims, or will become victims of rape or sexual assault at some point in their lifetimes. If you are lucky enough not to be a victim, then there is a good chance that you know someone who is a survivor. Some of the information contained in this book may be useful to you, should you or someone close to you be sexually assaulted, or better yet, it may help you avoid becoming a victim.
