A world-renowned expert provides a psychological profile of serial sex offenders—how they think, how they deceive their victims, and how they elude the law. What motivates sexual abusers? Why are so few caught?

Drawing on the stories of abusers, Anna C. Salter shows that sexual predators use sophisticated deception techniques and rely on misconceptions surrounding them to evade discovery. Arguing that even the most knowledgeable among us can be fooled, Salter dispels the myths about sexual predators and gives us the tools to protect our families and ourselves.

Predators offers invaluable insights into the minds and methods of these offenders, highlighting the importance of awareness and education in safeguarding potential victims.
