How can you predict dangerous situations before they go bang? This book was highly recommended by several folks. The first chapter annoyed me--you don't have to give a sales pitch when you've already sold the book.
Bottom line: They provide some categories and things to watch for, but the only way to apply them is to spend time watching the people around you in order to get a baseline to work from. My neighborhood isn't yours--there are about 5 languages within half a suburban block. It would be quite different just across the highway in the apartment complex, and neither resembles Afghanistan.
Once you have trained yourself to see things, and know what to expect, you can spot the anomalies.
I had our kids read The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I don't know if it helped.
