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
