Tips Against Crime Written from Prison: A Crime Survival Guide for the 90's

More than the contents of the book itself, this work is a testament to the human spirit. Mr. Jones was able to change his life in a number of ways, and brought his lessons out to share with others. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Jones, and he is truly a phenomenal man. I applaud him...and the book is great too! :)

This book was designed in a unique fashion, written from prison. I, Richard O.Jones, the author, was a convict in two California State Prisons from 1988 thru 1990. My conviction was 'major welfare fraud.' The life I led prior to being sent to prison had been one of a career criminal. At 41-years-old, I had been a criminal for over twenty-five years. LIVED WELL AND NEVER HAD A LEGITIMATE JOB! All my friends and associates were hustlers, thieves, robbers, raptists, and other 'Boys from the Hood'. This was my fifth felony conviction, but first prison sentence. Actually the sentence brought relief. I had grown tired and ashame of my life of crime. Especially in the light of my single parenthood. In prison, I decided change my life. I accepted Jesus Christ was my Lord and Savior. I also asked the Lord to tell me how I could change my career after a quarter of a century. The Holy Spirit led me to The Holy Bible - scripture Eph. 4:28, which reads: 'Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." At this point, it became clear to me that I should write a book on crime prevention. Crime was the only work I had experience. I was in the perfect place! As the weeks & months passed, I solicited crime tips from my fellow convicts. They shared the secrets of their evils. None were much bumbling crooks that they got arrested everytime they violated the law. Ninty-five percent of their crimes were never solved. This book tells the readers how scams, con games, and rip-offs are planned and executed. Robbery, a crime that is often done at random by amature crooks. These crimes are unavoidable, however, rather or not the victims walks away with their life is often in the hands of the victim. You can actually control the situation, in some cases. This book improves your chances. Also tips are given how you can greatly reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim in the first place. The book informs the reader of over three dozen types scams, con games, and violent crimes, and how you can reduce your risk of them. Many readers have contacted me and told of stories of the real life benefits my book as provided. In some cases, the book have saved lives, and great financial loss.
