This book is a good reminder that a lot of crimes are perpetrated by romantic interests. People get picked up in bars, clubs or restaurants. After that, all manner of crimes happen. People who are sex workers are extremely high risk. Domestic violence escalates to murder a lot of times. A lot of crimes, especially those against women, are by someone that they know. That was my biggest take away from this collection of case stories. Always be careful, no matter who you are with.
