ìHere is the latest word in scholarship on stalkers and those they terrify… a mandatory reading for anyone wanting to stay ahead of the curve on the flourishing clinical and legal literature about this worldwide and vexing problem.î – John Monahan, Ph D
Doherty Professor of Law, University of Virginia
At what point does following a person, or trying to intimidate him or her into accepting one’s advances, become ‘stalking’? How is stalking related to gender? Who is the stalker? What are the long-term effects of stalking?
These are among the many issues explored in this groundbreaking empirical investigation. This book based on two special issues of the journal Violence & Victims presents in-depth findings on both victim and perpetrator, and includes a new understanding of the categories of stalking behavior: simple obsessional, love obsessional, and erotomanic.
