Savvy New Guide to School Violence, Stopping the School Shooter, Published by Outskirts Press
Lee, MA, September 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Stopping the School Shooter: The Life You Save May be Your Own by Chief Ronald C. Glidden. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the social sciences and criminology category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/stoppingtheschoolshooter was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Author and leading authority on firearms and school violence issues, Chief Ron Glidden, introduces his new book this way:
“Imagine for a moment that you hear shots outside your classroom door. You wish there had been time for drills or training, but at least you have your Comprehensive Emergency Plan manual to help you survive. You thumb through the pages of the manual as shot after shot echoes in the hallway. You see chapter after chapter on mercury spills, pandemic flu outbreaks, bus accidents, and chapters to cover every school emergency imaginable. Finally, you come to the chapter on school violence just as the gunman breaks through your classroom door. Too bad the manual did not address your present situation by telling you in bold face lettering to, ‘Put down this manual and run like hell!’”
Instinct—some might even call it common sense - is a survival skill that is far more important than all the media hype or emergency manuals about school shooters and it is a survival skill that is lacking in many schools today.
Chief Glidden warns readers not to ignore their instincts. His book will help sharpen those instincts and help his readers stay alive.
“Chief Glidden has given us a profound and much needed analysis of school shootings complete with comprehensive and practical threat assessment and response strategies. He unveils the truth behind both the myths and all-too-confusing psychology about these attackers in a way that is comprehensible and easily applied. A must read for all of America’s law enforcement officers, teachers, school administrators and parents to assist them in keeping our schools free from targeted violence.”
- John Giduck, School terrorism expert and author of Terror at Beslan
