Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-25 00:00:00 greg mamak "Living with these images confuses the imagined with the real and creates a society in which most people live according to the imagined." The book focuses on how the perception of crime differs from the actuality of crime, and how that perception works as a form of social control. I questioned whether the book could still be useful given its age (1997), but it is still relevant. I am sure a large part of that was the diverse sample for research, allowing analysis for race, class, and age. As these are issues that many still have difficulty comprehending, Madriz's work remains important. (This is more obvious after just finishing Defending Ourselves, which was sadly lacking.)

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-20 00:00:00 Donald Schultz The book i read was about crime against women. Its full of statistics and research on why women are so vulnerable. Its called "Nothing Bad Happens to Good Girls". Which is basically a oxymoron proven in the book. "Good girls" are seen to be more vulnerable because a "good girl" is seen to be weak."Female joggers beware. IF you choose to enter thepark without a partner, you will be like BAmbi in hunting season,ENDANGERED. If you insist on defying the odds, then train to become Rambo and be ready ot defend yourself. After dark!(McLean 1995) I thought this quote was kind of funny because women are compared to bambi an innocent deer whose weak. I like this book personally because it tells the scary details about crime against women. Which I feel alerts me and tells me to be aware of my surroundings at all times.
