Stalking can include a vast array of behaviors including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repeated, unwanted, invasive, and fear-provoking communications via the phone, mail, email, texts, or social media;<\/li>\n<li>Following the victim and\/or waiting outside of the victim&#8217;s home, school, or work;<\/li>\n<li>Making direct or indirect threats to harm the victim, the victim&#8217;s children, relatives, friends, or pets;<\/li>\n<li>Obtaining personal information about the victim through public records, internet searches, social media, hiring private\/ investigators, following the victim, or contacting the victim&#8217;s friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors;<\/li>\n<li>Entering the victim&#8217;s home, car, or work and doing something to scare the victim and let the victim know the perpetrator has been there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And every year in the United States <strong>7.5 million people are stalked<\/strong>. Approximately <strong>1 in 6 women<\/strong> and <strong>1 in 19 <\/strong>men have experienced stalking at some point in their lifetime. And for both male and female victims of stalking, the perpetrator is most often someone known to the victim.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two thirds of the female victims of stalking (66.2%) reported stalking by a current or former intimate partner and nearly a quarter (24.0%) reported stalking by an acquaintance, whereas only 1 in 8 female victims (13.2%) reported stalking by a stranger.<\/li>\n<li>4 in 10 male stalking victims (41.4%) reported stalking by an intimate partner and 4 in 10 male stalking victims (40.0%) reported they had been stalked by an acquaintance, whereas only one-fifth (19.0%) reported stalking by a stranger and 5.3% reported being stalked by a family member.\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/get-informed\/stalking-statistics-facts\/\">Read more about stalking statistics<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Safe Horizon, we provide a range of services to support victims of stalking.
