BEST LINDA FAIRSTEIN FILES BOOKS
The Rape Scandal That Puts You At Risk”: The third novel in the series is a harrowing narrative of how law enforcement has allowed many rapists to walk by failing to process the evidence collected. With as many as a quarter of a million rape kits untested and going back as far as the mid-90s, many violent criminals walk the streets posing a risk to women and children. Linda Fairstein explores the injustice of investigations that never involve the victims, by analyzing the story of a Los Angeles woman. Laying down a rallying cry for women in this 40 page essay that was originally published in Cosmopolitan, Fairstein makes a good case for a paradigm shift in how law enforcement handles violent sex crimes.
The Most Surprising Crime Zone: Your Own Home: The fifth novel in the series is a guide on how to protect yourself from violent crime both outside and inside the home. In this novel, Linda Fairstein explains how about 25 percent of all violent sex crimes happen in homes that many women consider safe havens. She analyzes how simple things such as an unlocked door or an open window can lead to opportunistic crimes even in the most safe of neighborhoods. Explaining the nature of opportunistic crimes and what a woman can do to protect herself, she uses examples of real-life cases of home invasions that could have been easily avoided with the right precautions.
How Serial Rapists Target Their Victims: The second novel in the Linda Fairstein Files series of novels shows the disturbing ways rapists determine the most vulnerable victims, and how to ensure you do not become a victim. From the real-life case of the rapist that trawled a high-rise office building in Manhattan to the stalker that haunted the leafy suburbs of Nashville, these rapists strike in what would be deemed comfort zones. They will operate in some in their own comfort zones in some instances, or take advantage of the victims comfort zones where they are most unguarded. Linda breaks down the patterns of sex crime offenders and describes how to keep oneself safe from getting into behavior that may make them a rapist’s target.
