“…Another study conducted by Aquadro, et al, (2020) that 68% of women and 32% of men filed stalking cases to police in Italy. The findings further confirm that stalking is an inter-gender phenomenon (Sheridan, et al, 2016), as well as females faced stalking campaigns more than males (Narud & Dahl, 2015;Narud, et al., 2014;Purcell, et al, 2002). Moreover, the nature of the relationship of 60% female and 19% male students was ex-friend with the offender.…”

This study investigates stalking behavior campaigns between male and female university undergraduate students of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. The study also finds out the consequences of stalking behaviors of experienced male and female university students. A sample of 591 male and female undergraduate students of three public sectors universities was drawn through simple random sampling techniques. The 302 students out of 591 experienced stalking behaviors and results of victimization and its consequences were presented on a sample of 302 students, out of which 194 were female and 108 male students. The results reveal that 51% of students out of which 33% are female and 18% male experience stalking and 60% female and 19% male students report their relationship with the offender as ex-boy/girlfriend while 16% of male students mentioned their relationship with the offender as strangers. The study further shows significant results on stalking behavior campaigns as unwanted approaches like following, staring, hanging outside the department, library, cafeteria, as well as unwanted communication like phone calls, text messages, and contact through social media.

“…The first concerted research into the stalking of professionals focused on those whose jobs placed them in the public eye, particularly unwanted contacts and threats towards politicians and celebrities by strangers (Dietz, Matthews, Martell, et al, 1991, Dietz, Matthews, Van Duyne, et al, 1991; Zona et al, 1993). Since then, a small research literature on stalking of politicians in various countries has developed (Every-Palmer et al, 2015; James et al, 2016; Mullen et al, 2009; Narud & Dahl, 2015; Wilson et al, 2018). This research demonstrates that those who target public figures are frequently affected by psychotic disorders and are motivated by infatuation and resentment towards the victim, with fixations arising from personality pathology also clearly relevant (Wilson et al, 2018).…”

Studies over the past 30 years suggest that health professionals, professionals from the criminal justice system, and university faculty are all at increased risk of being stalked in their professional role. However, the literature on stalking of professionals is fragmented and tends to be siloed within each profession. This scoping review compares the experiences of victims across professions, the impact of stalking on those from different professions, and the responses of employing organizations to the stalking. The review makes clear that stalking is commonly experienced in a variety of different professional roles and the nature of stalking and its impacts are broadly similar, regardless of the targeted profession. The responses of employers are routinely reported as unhelpful by victims of stalking. The findings from the scoping review are used to inform recommendations to improve organizational responses to stalking. Public Significance StatementThis scoping review suggests that stalking victimization is common in professions that have an obligation or responsibility to their clientele. Professionals report similar experiences of stalking, with similar impacts, and where reported, frequently note that employers' responses to stalking are inadequate. The findings emphasize the need for organizations that employ professionals to develop policies to manage stalking as part of their occupational health and safety response.

“…In addition, 18% had been subjected to an attack or an attempted attack. In The Netherlands, 33% of politicians had been stalked during their lifetime and 46% threatened (Malsch 2002), in Sweden 74% of MPs reported having experienced harassment, threats or violence (Staatens Offentliga Utredningar 2006) and 28% of Norwegian MPs had experienced ‘genuine stalking’ (Narud 2015). In terms of celebrities, a German study reported a 79% career prevalence of stalking among television personalities (Hoffmann 2008).…”

SUMMARYProminent figures are frequently subjected to unwanted and intrusive attentions. Such stalking behaviour is often driven by psychotic illness, angrily blaming the public figure for delusional persecution (resentful motivation), or based on erotomanic delusions (intimacy seeking motivation), for example. This behaviour can cause psychological harm to both perpetrator and victim, and is unlawful. In the rare instances where a public figure has been attacked, the perpetrator has usually had a history of such stalking behaviour and of severe mental illness. For these reasons, early identification and diversion into appropriate care and treatment will be for the benefit of both parties and will prevent more serious violence in a minority of cases. The importance of the provision of education to improve both reporting rates by victims and an appropriate response from the criminal justice system is highlighted. A multi-agency approach involving the criminal justice system and mental health services is the most effective means of achieving these aims.DECLARATION OF INTERESTNone.LEARNING OBJECTIVES•Learn that severe mental illness, particularly psychosis, is often an important driver of stalking behaviour•Learn that delusional disorder is a treatable mental illness•Appreciate that prevention rather than prediction is the approach to managing the risks of high-harm low-probability outcomes.
