 Special
Feature<http://www.ncjrs.gov/eBlast/images/sp_feat_orange_bar.gif> 

January 2011 marks the eighth annual observance of National Stalking
Awareness Month, a month dedicated to educating the public about the
serious and at times deadly crime of stalking. 

Stalking generally refers to harassing or threatening behavior that an
individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing
at a person's home or work, making harassing phone calls, leaving
written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person's property
(Stalking in America: Findings From the National Violence Against Women
Survey <http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles/169592.pdf> , National Institute
of Justice). While the federal government, all 50 states, the District
of Columbia, and U.S. Territories have all enacted criminal laws to
address stalking, the legal definition for stalking varies by
jurisdiction. For example, state laws vary regarding the intent of the
stalker and what levels of victim fear and emotional distress are
required for an offense to be considered stalking (Stalking
Victimization in the United States
<http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=1211> , Bureau of
Justice Statistics).

Stalking between intimate partners is widespread and often associated
with lethal abuse. Despite the enactment of anti-stalking laws in every
state, relatively few stalkers are cited or arrested by law enforcement,
and even fewer are prosecuted (A Statewide Study of Stalking and Its
Criminal Justice Response
<http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/228354.pdf> , National
Institute of Justice-Sponsored).

To increase public awareness of the dangers and consequences of
stalking, NCJRS created the Stalking Awareness Special Feature
<http://www.ncjrs.gov/stalkingawareness/index.html> , an online
compilation of stalking-related publications and resources.
