...that approximately 1 in 10 males and 1 in 4 females are the victims of stalking or other forms of harassment, annually in the United States. The following is an abstract from research conducted by the University of Minnesota: * Stalking is pervasive and injurious. It affects between 2 million and 6 million victims annually, depending on the definition of stalking used. Official recognition of stalking actions falls far below this number. This failure is significant because stalking often has serious, injurious effects on its victims. * Implementation and enforcement of anti stalking laws is extremely limited: Most law enforcement and prosecution agencies lack policies for responding to stalking complaints and do not have personnel with expertise in stalking cases. Such expertise is important because stalking is a different type of crime . It combines elements of assault, threat, harassment, intimidation, and invasion of privacy. It occurs repeatedly and often must be investigated prospectively (by gathering evidence as stalking behaviors continue to occur after the initial complaint).
