Overview

Nurses and staff at hospitals seem generally to be regarded as a soft touch by the criminal element in our midst. This book is not a dull and turgid tome but it is a guide to the law on self defence, written by a barrister with much practice in this field, as a guide to the law of self defence. He is not only (as a lawyer) well qualified to write such a book, but also is a Black Belt at Karate. We are sure this book will be found of value to all who are apprehensive as to the possibility of being attacked, and what to do about it. Nurses and individual staff - for some unaccountable reason - seem to be a special target for those helping society and it seems that such people are often in a vulnerable position.
