Now journalist Linden Gross provides all the necessary tools readers need to know to handle inappropriate obsessive attention. Readers will discover how to control their natural reactions (which often put victims at a disadvantage), how to stop feeding the obsessive interaction that perpetuates stalking situations, and how to protect their privacy and safety. Gross explains how these dangerous obsessions begin, the patterns they take, and what potential victims can do before the nightmare becomes real. Surviving a Stalker also draws on the expertise of psychologists and offers secrets from personal security professionals.

Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

The survey classified individuals as stalking victims if they responded that they experienced at least one of these behaviors on at least two separate occasions. In addition, the individuals must have feared for their safety or that of a family member as a result of the course of conduct, or have experienced additional threatening behaviors that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. This report presents information on stalking victimization. Illustrations.

Download or read book How to deal with a stalker written by Michael Wenkart and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stalking is an increasingly prevalent and disturbing problem in today’s society, made worse and more frightening by the internet and the increasing amount of legal and illegal surveillance that is happening. Cyberstalking has become such a problem that it has had to be enshrined in law as a distinct crime. It is, therefore, important that potential innocent victims are able to spot the signs that they are being, or about to be, stalked, what to do to prevent and dissuade the stalker and what rights and resort they have against the perpetrators. This compilation covers all this as well as looking at self-defence as a means of protection – and its legal implications and the increasingly relevant issue of surveillance and ‘gang stalking.’ You have the right to protection– and informing yourself is the first step in this process.

Download or read book Diary of a Stalker written by Electa Rome Parks and published by Urban Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electa Rome Parks paints a powerful portrait of a crazed fan who can't seem to close the book on the affair after a one-night-stand with a famous author—and who will stop at nothing to make him hers. Even if that means killing him. . . Bestselling author Xavier Preston is used to women throwing themselves at him. On top of being a successful writer, he's also tall, dark and sexy as sin. He's always relished the attention, in fact, and is ever-willing to entertain the erotic urges of women wanting to get between more than the covers of his novels. Except once he meets Kendall, he decides it's time to put his womanizing ways behind him and devote himself to her entirely. Well, almost. . . Gorgeous Pilar is the last decadent treat Xavier decides he'll help himself to—thinking they are both on the same "no strings" page. Except behind Pilar's fine façade beats the heart of a raving maniac—a fatally attracted fan addicted to the kind of hot loving only Xavier can give her. And she's not about to let him get away from her so easily. So what starts out as a discreet dalliance soon spirals into a deadly game of obsession and pain—which can only have one winner. . .

Download or read book Nobody s Victim written by Carrie Goldberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobody's Victim is an unflinching look at a hidden world most people don’t know exists—one of stalking, blackmail, and sexual violence, online and off—and the incredible story of how one lawyer, determined to fight back, turned her own hell into a revolution. “We are all a moment away from having our life overtaken by somebody hell-bent on our destruction.” That grim reality—gleaned from personal experience and twenty years of trauma work—is a fundamental principle of Carrie Goldberg’s cutting-edge victims’ rights law firm. Riveting and an essential timely conversation-starter, Nobody's Victim invites readers to join Carrie on the front lines of the war against sexual violence and privacy violations as she fights for revenge porn and sextortion laws, uncovers major Title IX violations, and sues the hell out of tech companies, schools, and powerful sexual predators. Her battleground is the courtroom; her crusade is to transform clients from victims into warriors. In gripping detail, Carrie shares the diabolical ways her clients are attacked and how she, through her unique combination of advocacy, badass relentlessness, risk-taking, and client-empowerment, pursues justice for them all. There are stories about a woman whose ex-boyfriend made fake bomb threats in her name and caused a national panic; a fifteen-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted on school grounds and then suspended when she reported the attack; and a man whose ex-boyfriend used a dating app to send more than 1,200 men to ex's home and work for sex. With breathtaking honesty, Carrie also shares her own shattering story about why she began her work and the uphill battle of building a business. While her clients are a diverse group—from every gender, sexual orientation, age, class, race, religion, occupation, and background—the offenders are not. They are highly predictable. In this book, Carrie offers a taxonomy of the four types of offenders she encounters most often at her firm: assholes, psychos, pervs, and trolls. “If we recognize the patterns of these perpetrators,” she explains, “we know how to fight back.” Deeply personal yet achingly universal, Nobody's Victim is a bold and much-needed analysis of victim protection in the era of the Internet. This book is an urgent warning of a coming crisis, a predictor of imminent danger, and a weapon to take back control and protect ourselves—both online and off.

Download or read book Stalker Poison written by Shaun Sundahl and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IF YOU ARE TIRED OF BEING STALKED OR PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY YOUR PARTNER OR EX-PARTNER, HERE ARE 7 REASONS YOU SHOULD READ STALKER POISON IMMEDIATELY!#1 - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS EDITED THIS BOOK - We actively sought and recruited several editors who had firsthand experience with intimate partner violence (IPV) or indirectly through family members as they grew up, all of whom were Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in their own right. Additionally, we were able to find several editors who have helped a victim close to them escape a violent situation. By doing so, these editors became our SMEs. #2 - CRITICAL EDITS BY ATTORNEYS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COUNSELORS, AND VICTIM ADVOCATES -We recruited SMEs who have professional experience working with victims of IPV, including those with experience as attorneys, rape crisis and domestic violence counselors, victim advocates, and women's shelter workers. This array of multicultural experts provided this book with an authentic and broad perspective on how IPV and stalking impact the lives of survivors and how these issues can be faced and overcome. #3 - CRITICAL REVIEW BY COMPUTER EXPERTS -In Stalker Poison, we review cyberstalking and prevention strategies. Three computer experts from around the globe were hired to review our discussion of cyberstalking as an issue, the remedy, and investigation procedures. Their input strengthened our recommendations and made difficult concepts easier for you to read.#4 - STRICT FOCUS ON SAFETY PLANNING - The majority of books on stalking deal mainly with news stories, the psychological profile of stalkers, and the different methods of stalking. While this information is interesting, there is a void readers experience--they still don't know how to handle their situation and the options that are available. #5 - STRICT FOCUS ON DANGEROUS EX PARTNERS - In this book, we need to acknowledge that stalking behavior stops when the stalker is incapacitated, either through imprisonment, physical limitation, death, or a change of a target. If none of these options are present, we must deal with the stalker. Taking it up a notch, this book is specifically about dealing with a stalker who is planning to kill or severely injure you. Obviously, we don't know what a stalker is thinking, but fortunately, this book will explore behavior consistent with him harming you or others.#6 - STRICT FOCUS ON INTIMATE PARTNER STALKING - This book was written specifically for those of you who were or are in an intimate relationship with your stalker--or, at the very least, have had a first date--and as a result of the discontinuance of the relationship, you became the victim of stalking or intimate partner violence. #7 - THE AUTHOR IS ACTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO TRAINS PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS - As a veteran law enforcement officer, Shaun Sundahl has investigated hundreds of stalking and domestic violence cases. With every case Shaun investigates, something new is to be learned and he passes on his knowledge to his reader. Being a private investigator helps readers, because private investigators must be experts at public record searches and be an expert at finding people. As a private investigator, Shaun can explain how stalkers get your information and he provides plans on how you can delay (or keep) stalkers from finding you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative essay collection, the author “leans into her roles as both victim and predator [with] prose that’s casual and cool and often funny” (The New York Times). In six wide-ranging essays, Kathleen Hale traces some of the most treacherous fault lines in modern America—from sexual assault to Internet trolling, from environmental illness to our own animal nature. From hunting wild hogs in Florida to a standoff with an anonymous blogger, Hale takes no prisoners and fears no subject. “First I Got Pregnant. Then I Decided to Kill the Mountain Lion” recounts the month Hale spent tracking a wild cat in the Hollywood Hills while pregnant. “Prey” tells the troubling story of her sexual assault as a freshman in college. Through these and other essays, Hale wields razor-sharp wit, deep empathy, and daring honesty, even in detailing some of the most difficult moments of her life.

Download or read book Give Me Everything You Have written by James Lasdun and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story of obsessive love turning to obsessive hate in the crucible of the digital age. Give Me Everything You Have chronicles author James Lasdun's strange and harrowing ordeal at the hands of a former student, a self-styled "verbal terrorist," who began trying, in her words, to "ruin him." Hate mail, online postings, and public accusations of plagiarism and sexual misconduct were her weapons of choice and, as with more conventional terrorist weapons, proved remarkably difficult to combat. James Lasdun's account, while terrifying, is told with compassion and humor, and brilliantly succeeds in turning a highly personal story into a profound meditation on subjects as varied as madness, race, Middle East politics, and the meaning of honor and reputation in the Internet age.
