What motivates sexual abusers? Why are so few caught? Drawing on the stories of abusers, Anna C. Salter shows that sexual predators use sophisticated deception techniques and rely on misconceptions surrounding them to evade discovery. Arguing that even the most knowledgeable among us can be fooled, Salter dispels the myths about sexual predators and gives us the tools to protect our families and ourselves. -- from the publisher Reviews: "The insight and advice in Salter's book comes from the 'horse's mouth'-convicted sexual predators whom she has interviewed in large numbers and at length.
