Manage episode 309901920 series 3044887
When we think of stalkers and death threats we tend to think of it as being a problem for high profile personalities or celebrities. Most situations involving ‘normal’ people rarely make the news unless the circumstances are drastic but it is a problem much more common that most of us realise.
In this podcast, we look at the nature of stalking and stalkers and how to respond to stalking situations.
Episode Highlights:
- The Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2012 did a survey and they reported that one in five women will experience stalking at some stage in their life and one in thirteen men will actually experience stalking in their life.
- 95% of cases where women are stalked involve men as the perpetrator while male victims have a more even split with men and women roughly accounting for 50% of the perpetrator count.
- What are the four stalker profile types?
- Seven Actions To Take If You Suspect You Are Being Stalked
- Stalkers are irrational and unpredictable and often mentally unstable so it’s best to get the experts involved as early as possible.
