Verbal Judo

Much to teach, much to learn.excellent book particularly for Law Enforcement. His other works "The Gentle art of persuasion" is also excellent both are a must have addition to your law enforcement library

Add words to your insurmountable arsenal.

I first read this book right after law school, when I went to work in the criminal courts as a clerk and bailiff. At that time, in a metropolitan area of over one million, there were no security screeners at the entrances. Gang types were active in the halls. I had to "face up" with the most alpha-dominant types you have ever imagined. Oh, you have to deal with them ever day. Understood. These were people who enjoy, and even get off, on pure evil. This book taught me to actually take their "macho" and add it to my power over them. You probably don't leave home without your kevlar. If you are, or wish you could, absorb this book into the very fabric of your being... because next to kevlar it can save your life. Then give it to your partner. And then to your spouse take a look at - you will gain a whole new receptivity to your daily activities. Be proud, be professional - and become a master in the incredibly effective martial art of verbal judo.
