The definitive guide to the psychology of predatory sexual abuse and how to protect ourselves and our families.

“Predators gives parents and educators the best kind of defense against sexual offenders: wisdom.” Gavin de Becker (The Gift of Fear)

What motivates sexual abusers? Why are so few caught? How can understanding their mindsets and behavior help us stop these crimes before they happen?

Drawing on decades of research and expertise, psychologist Anna C. Salter exposes the inner workings of abusers’ minds and reveals the sophisticated deception techniques sexual predators rely on 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.

With chapters on child molesters, psychopaths, rapists, and sadists, Predators is an unsettling, illuminating, and indispensable guide.
