sassmistress's review against another edition

There are a few things I would take with a grain of salt, such as the interview questions (and reliance on "intuition") that are likely to result in ablist hiring decisions. The heavy focus on intuition, with all the examples given, likely creates some survivorship bias ("I had a bad feeling about x, and then something happened" may leave out all the times nothing happened).
There is a good section on spotting risk factors for DV, and for that reason I may recommend it for teenagers.
I didn't enjoy the chapter on assassination, as it has more of a "true crime" bent and was less applicable, but many people enjoy that sort of content.

Mention of a rape case third page in the book so starts strong. Less triggering afterwardsluminifera's review against another edition

It's literally a book about perceiving signs of imminent danger/violence. It discusses many heavy themes.
