Protecting children

Very good reference in today's chaotic world. An eye opener for the dangers lurking in modern society. It teaches us to be more careful and vigilant against prospective criminals. It also reminds us of the great responsibility of raising children to be strong and responsible adults.

Recommended for any parent in the 21st century

For any parent in the 21st century, this is an essential read about the subject from a Sociology professor and criminologist (and father of two), Dr. Simmons has founded two counseling centers, and this book speaks in a friendly and useful way about treating your children with respect, and showing them (and yourself) how to keep your family safe. Some things are common sense, and some are things you will go "ooooooh....yeah...." which will pay for the cover price. It doesn't cover things related to the Internet, but things in the real world. You will feel much more secure in letting your kids "out of the house" once you read and apply the ideas in this valuable book. Dr. J.L. Simmons, PhD passed away April 1, 2003; he will be remembered as an influential teacher, author, and inspiration.
