"Stalking Victimization in the
United States"
A major national study on stalking, released
on January 13, 2009, by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS), serves as a wake-up call about a serious and often
misunderstood crime, says the National Center for Victims of Crime, the nation's
leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and founder of the
Stalking Resource Center. Stalking Victimization in
the United
States, the largest collection of data on
stalking prevalence and behavior to date, found that 3.4 million persons
identified themselves as victims of stalking in a 12-month period. This figure, which represents an
increase of 2 million victims per year over the findings of a key 1998
study, suggests the urgent
need for a more comprehensive response to the crime. Read More. See full
study.
