Literature Review of Gender and Stalking

An Introduction to Issues of Gender in Stalking Research
Stalking has been the subject of empirical examination for a little over 20 years. Interest in stalking  both empirical and public  has increased substantially within the last decade (see Figure 1).  A PsycINFO search of the first decade of stalking research yields only 74 hits. In contrast, the year 2000 marked an upswing of serious investigation with the publication of the first special issue on stalking (Frieze  Davis, 2000). There were 56 publications on stalking in 2000 alone and over 600 publications on the topic published between 2000 and 2010. 
The research on stalking has examined predictors of perpetration, consequences of victimization, and public perceptions of stalking. Within each of these domains, one of the lingering questions has been: what role does gender play in stalking?
