January is National Stalking Awareness Month (NSAM): Know it, Name it, Stop it! 13.5 million people are stalked year, individuals 18-24 years old experience the highest rates of stalking. Stalking is a violation of student conduct codes and Title IX, and is a crime under the laws of the 50 states, District of Columbia, U.S. Territories, and Federal government.

Stalking is defined as a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear or emotional distress. Individual incidents in the pattern may or may not be criminal acts. As fear is highly personal, so is stalking; stalkers often engage in behaviors that seem benign to outsiders but are terrifying in context. For example, many people would welcome an unexpected flower delivery, but when a victim has quietly relocated to escape a stalker, that flower delivery can be a terrifying and threatening message that the offender has found them. Most stalkers target people that they know, and the majority of stalkers are intimate partners or acquaintances who often have intimate knowledge about the victim鈥檚 vulnerabilities and fears.

Most stalkers use technology and in-person tactics to watch, contact, threaten, sabotage, and/or otherwise frighten their victims. Common stalking tactics include unwanted calls, texts, emails, messages, showing up uninvited, spreading rumors, and being followed and watched.
