Each year an estimated 3.4 million men and women become victims of
stalking. While a man in a black coat following a girl in a dark
alley is the media's stereotypical portrayal of stalking, there is
actually a wide range of behavior that can be defined as such.
Stalking characterized by harassment, repeated calling, sending
inappropriate letters or gifts, unsuitable use of social media,
confrontation, and other unwanted behaviors is a worldwide problem
that is on the rise, especially the incidence and prevalence of
cyberstalking. This book presents a collection of prominent
articles published in the peer-reviewed journal Violence and
Victims, written by experts on stalking from a variety of social
science disciplines. Authors present research related to stalking
victims and perpetrators, cyberstalking, how to identify stalking,
and stalking in a variety of settings with a focus on college
campuses. College students, many of whom are relatively new to
intimate relationships, are especially prone to becoming stalked or
perpetrating stalking. Several articles in this collection address
stalking within the college population, including an empirical
study of stalking victimization in men and women and a discussion
of coping strategies at a Finnish university. Authors examine
varying perceptions and attitudes toward stalking on campus, and
discuss how to draw the line between courtship behavior and
stalking. Personality attributes of stalkers include, according to
one study, less social competence and a greater tendency to display
borderline behaviors. Studies also address the relationship between
stalking and gender, the stalking experiences of battered women,
and the growing incidence of cyberstalking. This book will provide
a solid research foundation toward understanding and controlling
stalking behaviors, which can potentially lead to more serious
abuse. Key Features: Disseminates the most acclaimed research
articles on stalking from the peer-reviewed journal Victims and
Violence Authored by well-known stalking experts from varied social
science disciplines Explores stalking in numerous settings
including college campuses Presents research on perpetrators and
victims of stalking Examines cyberstalking
