January is National Stalking Awareness Month
Stalking often co-occurs with intimate partner violence and can be an indicator of other forms of violence.
All stalkers can be dangerous. Intimate partner stalkers, compared to acquaintance and stranger stalkers, are more likely to threaten and physically assault the victim and their friends and family.
