Stalking

Stalking is a serious, prevalent, and dangerous crime. While awareness and public discussion of intimate partner violence and sexual assault have increased in recent years, stalking remains frequently misunderstood and rarely discussed – especially on campuses. This video is part of the "Know It, Name It, Stop It" public awareness curriculum developed by the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC) of AEquitas. Workshop materials are available at www.stalkingawareness.org.

Stalking

Stalking is pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for the person’s safety or the safety of others; or suffer substantial emotional distress.
