A quick read, offering simple advice about home security. Being aware of who your family is and who the criminal might be. Nothing too deep or profound, but a lot of ideas about where/how criminals enter a home, how to prevent those things from happening, not relying on things that usually don't work (dogs and screens), and protecting what really matters (your life and your family members' lives). For me, the numerous case studies of bad things that happened to other people were illustrative.
