One Less Victim: A Personal Guide to Victim Prevention is about crime victims and their predators. Unlike most self-defense books, One Less Victim explains the more subtle facors that draw criminals to crime victims, ranging from school bullyiing to large scale swindling. This book gives solutions for potential victims to get themselves out of the victim mindset and into one of self-confidence and safety. Who is most vulnerable to theft, assault or robbery? Is it seniors, college women, minorities or young adult males? Does a medical worker have a higher risk for violent attack than a sales manager? What indicates that a school has a high risk for bullying, theft and drugs? Setter describes how some people unknowingly find themselves drawn towards people, places and situations that result in them being robbed, conned, assaulted, brutalized or even murdered. Like any bad habit, victimization often just gets worse. One Less Victim explains: Early crime victim conditioning

Aiming to fulfill the need for a multifaceted approach to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this guide addresses the importance of the stressor, places paramount the person of the victim and provides treatment procedures. The 11 authors weave a care paradigm that begins with a position: the persona of the victim organises and preserves his or her reality and the trauma makes this more so. The book provides a formula for accepting, understanding and treating the individual and helps the therapist inspect and nurture the trauma victim's self and ego skills.

An orphan before age five, Germain spends two years living alone on the seashore in seventeenth century France. The fishermen call him "little prophet" since he can always foretell impending storms. One fateful day he strays into a castle of monks - and is not allowed to leave. The monks educate him and he is proved to be an excellent student, but he suffers from their cold and unfeeling ways. As a young man, Germain eventually takes his vows becoming a priest in the Catholic Church. He settles in a poor village with his faithful dog, Sultan, and it is here that he consoles the humble and oppressed - sometimes risking his life for their sake. As his reputation as a virtuous and holy man spreads, even royalty arrive for absolution of their crimes. Father Germain teaches love of the Creator and mankind with a belief that even the most hardened heart can be turned toward goodness. He exposes church hypocrisy and is persecuted by his superiors; yet he continues to teach according to his conscience. Memoirs of Father Germain is the touching, true account of this beloved priest's life relayed to the writer Amalia Domingo Soler of Spain. These stories of intrigue, adventure, human emotion, and morality will provide you with tremendous love, inspiration, and hope.
