Crime expert Linda Fairstein reveals the surprising locations where women are most vulnerable to attacks, and what they can do to stay safe
Leaving work, riding in a taxi, even sitting in the comfort of one’s own home, these places are linked by one harrowing feature: They are where women often feel most at ease, and they are among the most common locations where abductions of and attacks against women occur. In The Five Most Dangerous Places for Women, Linda Fairstein explains exactly where and why unexpected threats occur, and how to guard against them. Drawing from her years as a groundbreaking prosecutor of sexual crimes in New York City, Fairstein delves into the minds of violent criminals to show the best practices women can use to protect themselves—especially in everyday situations where danger often lies just around the corner.

5.0 out of 5 stars SHORT AND SWEET
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024
The author echoes things women have been told their entire lives. Some women just don't listen.
Full of facts and true cases, all with an eye to warn women everywhere when to be careful: all the time.

I ordered this via a newsletter that offers e-books for low prices, so the price didn’t tip me off…I’m feeling cheated now that I realize this isn’t a book, but a reprint of a newspaper article from several years ago. Not worth even the low, low price that I paid.

Good tips, but presented in a dry narrative. Not at all what I expected from one of my favorite mysterious authors. Had a hard time staying with the book because of the almost pedantic presentation. However, it is advice that every woman should take to heart. Men, too.

Helpful information. Surprisingly brief but nonetheless to the point. A good reminder to stay aware even in familiar places and not zone out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it!
Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2016

These were interesting warnings of what can happen to a vulnerable woman, but gives NO information on what to do to prevent any of these situations.
Locking your doors and being alert is NOT new information. Considering what the writer does for her day job, I expected some insight into a predator's thinking, and more details on how to prevent being a victim.
If you ARE a victim, what can you do to protect yourself DURING the incident? If you survive, what can you do AFTER the incident.
The writer is a working lawyer. Surely she could give us some pointers informing us how to report a crime, whether the victim should consult a lawyer, etcetera.
