Provides multidisciplinary coverage of stalking behavior worldwide
from both academic and practical approaches Psycho-Criminological
Approaches to Stalking Behavior: The International Perspective is a
thorough, up-to-date overview of stalking perpetration and
victimization in different regions of the world. This authoritative
book brings together contributions from a team of leading scholars
and practitioners that discuss a diverse range of interrelated
topics and issues relevant to stalking and intrusive behavior from
both theoretical and practical contexts. Whereas most of the
literature on the subject is written from a Western viewpoint, this
unique volume examines empirical research, policies, and practices
from Asian and African countries, as well as those from Europe, the
Americas, and Australia, to provide a truly global perspective.
Divided into three parts, the book first examines theories and
research on cross-national differences in stalking among college
students, ex-partner stalking in Finland, cyberstalking
victimization in Singapore, the heterogeneity of stalking and
stalkers in Australia, public familiarity and understanding of
stalking/harassing legislation in Australia, the United Kingdom,
and the United States, and more. The book's second part focuses on
national portraits of stalking in a number of understudied
populations, including Lithuania, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, and
South Africa. Finally in the third section of the book, the
chapters largely emphasize policy and best practice, including the
Dutch model of policing stalking, risk assessment and management of
stalking in Sweden, psycho-legal responses to online interpersonal
harm, the German approach to stopping stalking, the United Kingdom
response to assessing and managing stalking, and the work of the
Danish Stalking Centre. This important contribution to the field:
Offers insights from international professionals applicable in
other geographical contexts Discusses the factors that influence
social awareness and responses to stalking Explores the importance
of victim vulnerability factors when managing risk of stalking
Presents real-world case studies of stalking behavior, intimate
partner violence, stalking victimization, and statutory and law
enforcement efforts Reviews the intervention practices of the
support institutions and justice systems of different countries
Psycho-Criminological Approaches to Stalking Behavior: The
International Perspective is an ideal primary or supplementary text
for courses in criminology, criminal justice, forensic psychology,
and social and behavioral science, as well as a valuable source of
reference for those who deal with offenders or victims of stalking,
including law enforcement agents, mental health professionals,
legal practitioners, social services personnel, and policy makers.
