About this episode

Meg Stone discusses her book 'Don't Fight Back' and the effectiveness of common safety advice for women.

Welcome back to Crawlspace. In this new episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna are joined by new friend of the show, Executive Director of ImpactBoston, author and violence prevention specialist, Meg Stone. Meg discusses her new book, Don't Fight Back, which explores the unverified advice that is all too often given to women as a way to protect themselves. But is this advice actually effective, or a covert way to regulate a community?
