Types of stalker
Stalking falls into five main typologies
Understanding the motivations of individual stalkers can help efforts to challenge and eradicate stalking behaviours.
The 5 Stalking Typologies
Rejected Stalker
People who have been in an intimate relationship and, when the relationship is under strain or breaks down, they then target their partner or ex-partner. This can happen when a relationship is failing or years after a relationship has ended. Rejection stalking is often associated with relationships that were previous abusive.
Why Do People Stalk?
People who stalk claim a range of justifications. They might feel they've been wronged and want to get their own back. They might be unable to accept the end of a relationship. They might want to start a relationship with someone they don’t know or who isn’t interested in them. They might be a sexual predator or they might believe something that isn’t true, because they have a serious mental disorder. They might manipulate others into helping them.
At the heart of stalking is the mistaken belief that one person can justifiably force another person to listen to what they have to say, pay them attention or do what they want them to do.
Some people know what they’re doing is a criminal offence but are unable to consider the consequences. Others wrongly believe they have good reason to behave the way they do. However, regardless of what justifications a stalker offers, if their behaviour directed at another person, is repeated and unwanted, and could cause fear and alarm, then it’s likely to be a serious criminal offence, with severe consequences.
This is because the law says that there is no justification for stalking. Society regards it as a completely unacceptable way to interact with others.
