David Givens, a foremost expert in nonverbal communication,
offers an instructive, intriguing, and essential tool for warding off crime and
protecting your safety and your family's. Before a lie is spoken, a pocket is
picked, or an assault is inflicted, each and every criminal gives off silent
cues. They can be as subtle as a shrug of the shoulder, a pointed finger, or an
averted gaze. But together, they make up
a nonverbal language that speaks loud and clear—if you’re trained to see it. Crime
is never unpredictable. Before a lie is spoken, a pocket is picked, or an
assault is inflicted, there are silent cues: a nonverbal language that speaks
loud and clear if you're trained to see it. Filled with fascinating real-life
stories of crime and survival, "Crime Signals" is a comprehensive
guide designed to help you stay alert to the warning signs of a wide array of
offenses. From the telltale signals of a swindler, to the warning signs that
experts use to help thwart violent crime and terrorism, "Crime
Signals" breaks down a criminal's body language into clear, recognisable
symbols.
