Description

Before Nancy Grace became the iconic legal commentator we know today, she studied Shakespearean literature at college until one moment changed her entire life and career trajectory: her fiance Keith was murdered weeks before their wedding. Driven to deliver justice to victims of criminals, Nancy became a prosecutor working in inner-city Atlanta, which, at the time, was the murder capital of the country.

Now, with this potentially life-saving book, Nancy uses her experiences working with and covering families of victims of crime to help readers stay safe in the face of daily dangers. Filled with practical advice and valuable tips, Don't Be A Victim will show you how to:

* Fend off the threat of street assaults and home predators

* Protect yourself from online stalking and computer hackers

* Stay safe in school and other public settings

* Prepare for the worst case scenario -- no matter what you're facing

Nancy's legal expertise will help to keep you, your family, and anyone else you care about out of harm's way.
