Introduction
Section One: Before violence occurs
Awareness is your best defense
Don't get caught up in the escalato follies
The victim interview
Know when he's eager to hit you
Don't let them get into position for attack
Avoid being cut from the heard
Don't be afraid to call in support
Your words are a weapon, use them wisely
Don't get hung up on name calling
If you have made a mistake, apologize
Make sure your intentions are clear and understandable
Saying something once does not mean that it was understood
Changing the context can de-escalate a bad situation
Holywood fantasy vs. brutal reality
Never underestimate the fighting intelligence of your opponent
Size and intensity are not the same thing
Take nothing for granted
Little things are often important
Know your territory
Restrain impassionate friends
When it comes to violence, girlfriends can be helpful...but generally not
Live to fight another day
When you think you are a good fighter, you're not
Don't claim your turf
Invading your opponent's territory means one of two things
Darn near everybody has a knife...and it changes everything in a fight
Know when he's armed, you'll live longer that way
Gangs are not your friend
Listen to the subtle (and not-so-subtle) warnings you get
Section Two During a violent encounter
He who strikes the first blow admits he's lost the argument
You've got a 'stay out of jail free' card if you use it wisely
Use only as much force as the situation warrants
Know how to wrangle drunks
Never hit a girl...unless she's armed
When he stops, you stop
Be prepared to fight until it stops
When you stop, he won't stop
Six techniques you can use in a fight
If something works, keep using it until it stops working
Six mistakes to avoid in a fight
Avoid going to the gorund
Don't let the other guy get behind you
Fighting is not a democratic process
Don't self destruct
You will get hurt
Recognize your own limitations
You may think, 'my enemy's enemy is my friend,' but it's not true
As stress goes up inteligence goes down
Beware of crowds
Summary
Section Three Aftermath of violence
Once it's over, know your priorities
It only takes a microsecond...and then you're in survival mode
Know how to perform first aid
Handling blows to your self esteem
Dealing wth psychological trauma
Understanding critical incident amnesia
Don't exaggerate, don't threaten
Police officers don't like fighting, so they don't like you
Find a good attorney
Realize that courts are about resolution, not justice
Be wary of the press
Beware the 'friday night special'
A fight can take place over time; It's called a feud, and it is bad
