STALKING


Stalking is when someone uses harassing or threatening behaviour. It could be physical stalking or cyber stalking. Physical stalking involves the following:
*Following someone
*Making harassing phone calls
*Leaving written messages
*Leaving objects
*Appearing at a persons home or work place
*Vandalizing someone’s property

Cyber stalking involves:
*Using internet to harass
*Use other electric means to harass

Research suggests that most of the stalkers are male. Stalkers have many types of psychological characteristics: mood, anxiety, substance abuse disorders, low self-esteem, social insecurity, narcissism, intense jealousy and morbid infatuation. Stalking is bad because stalkers watch people without their knowledge and that means they are invading their privacy.
