Description:Stalking is an important public health problem experienced by both women and men. It typically includes being followed, spied upon, repeatedly contacted, and often threats of violence. It can even lead to homicide in severe cases. Although stalking has historically received less attention in the scientific literature than sexual violence and intimate partner violence, stalking victimization is associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms, feelings of hopelessness, fear, safety concerns, depression, and anxiety. Stalking can happen in the context of intimate partner violence, especially for female victims1 and has been associated with sexual violence victimization. The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) is the sole source of recent, national data on stalking victimization in the United States.
This report summarizes the lifetime and 12-month experiences of stalking victims in the United States. It includes differences in prevalence by race/ethnicity, stalking tactics, type and sex of the perpetrators, and associations between stalking victimization and health conditions. Data tables are presented at the end of the report.
