| dc.description.notes | Outlines the methodology and results of an exploratory questionnaire-based study aimed at ascertaining how women define, and the extent to which they have had personal experience with, 'stalking' behaviour. A background to the introduction of British stalking legislation is provided and some of the difficulties associated with framing and implementing the legislation are discussed. The findings are then summarised and relationships between demographic details and questionnaire responses are highlighted. Concludes that although there was no clear agreement amongst participants as to what specific behaviours constituted stalking, some general categories could be established. Contact, violence and proximity-seeking behaviours were generally seen as stalking related, while indecent language, sexual harassment and conventional interactions were not. It is suggested that the incidence of women's experience of stalking is much higher than statistical reports suggest and that certain demographic factors can mediate attitudes towards stalking behaviour. Argues that the findings of the study have significant implications for the development of clearer legal definitions of stalking in England and Wales and those broader definitions may ensure higher prosecution rates of such offences. | en |
