All states and the Federal Government have passed anti-stalking legislation.
Men commit most stalking.
While, high-profile celebrity stalking cases generate considerable media attention, they are relatively rare. Most stalking occurs between people who know each other. Women are most likely to be stalked by a current or former intimate partner during the relationship, after it ends, or at both points in time. These important findings suggest that contrary to popular notions about who gets stalked, currently or formerly battered women have the greatest risk of being stalked. Provide support and validation because threatening and harassing behavior alone, without accompanying violence are often minimized or discounted.
