First published in 2001, The Criminalisation of Stalking fills a much-needed gap by drawing upon a range of methodologies to present a thorough and comprehensive examination of the way in which stalking became perceived as a pressing and prevalent social problem in need of legal intervention, as well as providing a critical evaluation of the efficacy and sufficiency of the legal responses. Essentially this book has two main objectives- first, to provide a comprehensive account of the process by which stalking came to be regarded as a significant social problem which merited legal intervention and to evaluate that response. And secondly, to situate this within a wider theoretical context which addresses the role of the criminal law in dealing with social problems and the boundaries of criminalization. This illustrates how a detailed consideration of a particular issue can inform wider debate and provide a unique perspective on existing theoretical material. This socio-legal perspective facilitates the use of a range of methodologies to challenge the existing conceptualization of stalking and to present a wider range of potential solutions to this complex social problem. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of criminology.

Address the root causes of stalking behavior with this vital guide In the approximately thirty-five years since stalking was identified as a form of harmful behavior, addressing its social effects has largely fallen to the criminal justice system. There is significant evidence, however, to suggest that pure criminalization is an ineffective response, and that mental health treatment for people who stalk may be the only serious path to relief for stalking victim. Despite this, however, robust research into treatment for people who stalk remains rare, and relevant resources for mental health providers few. Treating Stalking is among the first comprehensive overviews of this vital subject. Drawing on decades of combined research and clinical experience, it identifies stalking as a form of maladaptive behavior potentially responsive to psychological therapy and other treatments. It is designed to aid clinicians looking to structure a clinical program and stop stalking behavior. Treating Stalking readers will also find: Case examples and worksheets from authors’ practices Attention to multidisciplinary programs, including pharmacological and occupational interventions Detailed treatment of ethical and legal issues related to treating stalking Treating Stalking is a must-have for any psychologist or other mental health professional looking to treat patients who stalk.

Stalking is a distinctive form of criminal activity composed of a series of actions (rather than a single act) that taken individually might constitute legal behavior. In domestic situations, stalking typically occurs after the woman has attempted to leave the relationship. The man, unable to accept rejection, and unwilling to let the woman leave, begins to follow, threaten, harass, or assault her. The term "separation assault" has been coined to describe this behavior. This is the 1996 annual report providing information concerning the incidence of stalking and the effectiveness of State antistalking efforts and legislation.

Workplace bullying, harassment, and other psychological workplace hazards are becoming increasingly acknowledged and legislated against in the modern work world.
