Twenty-five specialists from Europe, the U.S., Australia, and Canada combine insights from psychology, psychiatry, the police, and the law on stalking and psychosexual harassment in Western societies. Their 14 chapters investigate the prevalence of stalking,the nature of stalkers, and what can be done, through police action and the courts, to combat the many forms this activity takes. The text also examines the victims of stalking, and the recent development of cyberstalking using the Internet and electronic mail. For advanced students, practitioners and researchers in forensic and clinical psychology, psychiatry, and personality psychology, and practitioners and policy makers in policing and criminal justice.
