THUG LOVE is Released

CLINTON, Md.

In "Thug Love" (published by Xlibris) author Dr. Ray Petty has compiled all his research on the mystery behind some women's attractions to men with bad boy images.

"Thug Love" is the Wikipedia of questionable relationships. Dr. Petty conducted seven years of research, using surveys, group discussions and case studies among women and men to answer this age-old question. In doing so, he develops a profile of the 'bad boy'; analyzes women's thinking behind such behavior; and provides tips, tactics and theories to help women turn their risky behavior into responsible behavior.

This book was predominantly created to empower women and show them that although the idea of having a relationship with a person with a bad boy image may look appealing, it may lead them down a self-destructive path that is perpetually to their disadvantage.
