What is stalking?
Stalking is when a person or group repeatedly and unwelcomely observes another person.
Stalking practices, which involve watching the victim or physically following them, are connected to harassment and intimidation.
Psychiatry, psychology, and several legal systems use the term "stalking" interchangeably to refer to a variety of criminaloffenses.
The U.S. National Center for Victims of Crime stated in a report from 2002 that "almost any unwanted contact between two persons that directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear might be constituted stalking".
