Crime Signals: How to Spot a Criminal Before You Become a Victim

Crime is never unpredictable. 

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 SIGNALS is the first book to offer a comprehensive guide to the body language of criminals.  Filled with amazing real-life stories of crime and survival, it's designed to help you stay alert to the warning signs of a wide array of offenses.  From the tell-tale signals of a swindler to the warning signs that experts use to help thwart terrorism and violent crime, this book breaks down a criminal's body language into clear recognizable symbols.

What is the look of a lie?  How do child predators unknowingly give themselves away?  What were the clues that exposed white-collar offenders like Martha Stewart and Andrew Fastow?  Answering these questions and more, Dr. David Givens, a renowned anthropologist and one of the nation's foremost experts in nonverbal communication, offers a fascinating, instructive, and essential tool for warding off crime and protecting the safety or yourself and your family.
