{"product_id":"9781923630420","title":"Human Predators","description":"\u003cp\u003eHuman Predators explores one of the most disturbing and consequential deceptions of our time: the widespread misunderstanding of the people who deliberately harm, manipulate, exploit and control others while avoiding accountability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the largest deep dive ever undertaken into the world of human predators, Dr Karen Mitchell argues that academics and researchers have misled the public about how to recognise these dangerous individuals. Across multiple fields – including narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, coercive control, cults, toxic leadership, human trafficking and abuse – researchers have often studied the same destructive behaviours separately, using different language and frameworks. This has created confusion and made predators harder to identify.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book brings these fragmented fields together and presents a provocative conclusion: there is only one kind of human predator, sharing the same core attributes and relying on the same tactics to dominate, deceive and avoid exposure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Mitchell introduces a new and highly nuanced representation of the human predator, offering readers powerful insights into how these individuals operate and, crucially, how to see them more clearly. The book includes many red flags and patterns of behaviour that have not previously been brought together in one place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuman Predators also examines how research models, mental health frameworks, legal systems and other institutions can inadvertently protect predators while pathologising victims. It offers readers both a new lens for understanding predatory behaviour and a practical pathway towards greater awareness, protection and recovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGroundbreaking, challenging and deeply relevant, this book speaks to anyone who has been harmed by a manipulative or abusive person, as well as professionals, advocates and readers interested in the hidden dynamics of power, control and exploitation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnderstanding human predators is not merely an intellectual exercise. It is a matter of safety, survival and social clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"PUBLISH CENTRAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52342818078994,"sku":"9781923630420","price":27.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781923630420.jpg?v=1780610730","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781923630420","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
