Stalking Resources

Nationally, 7.5 million people are stalked every year. Approximately 1 in 6 women and 1 in 17 men have experienced stalking at some point in their lifetime. (CDC, 2015)

1. Signs of Stalking

Most stalking is done by someone known to the victim, such as a current or former partner. Yet some victims are stalked by complete strangers.

Stalking can include a wide array of behaviors: - Does someone always seem to be just around the corner when you are going to work, are out with friends, or in your neighborhood? - Does someone keep making unwanted phone calls to your home or work? - Do you find signs that someone has been in or near your home, your car, or your workplace when you were not there? - Are you receiving repeated letters, gifts, cards, social media posts and/or emails even though you told the sender to stop sending them? - Has someone tried to get information about you from a third person like a family member, friend, or co-worker? - Is someone posting information or spreading rumors about you on the internet, in a public place, or by word of mouth?
