Stalking
Multiple Definitions
US Bureau of Justice Statistics
About half (46%) of stalking victims experienced at least one unwanted contact per week, and 11% of victims said they had been stalked for 5 years or more.
Approximately 1 in 4 stalking victims reported some form of cyberstalking such as e-mail (83%) or instant messaging (35%).
Women were at greater risk than men for stalking victimization; however, women and men were equally likely to experience harassment.
