Stalking: Perspectives on Victims and Perpetrators

By Keith E. Davis, Roland D. Maiuro, Irene Hanson Frieze

Here 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. - John Monahan, PhD

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.
