January

January 2025 marks the twenty-first annual National Stalking Awareness Month (NSAM) and the second annual Stalking Awareness Day of Action on January 18th! Both are a call to action to recognize and respond to the serious crime of stalking.

 

Stalking is its own crime with its own risks, safety planning needs, and legal responses.

 

Research and practice show that victims are unlikely to use the words ‘stalking’ or ‘harassment’ when talking about their situation and may not know their experiences amount to stalking victimization; instead of asking victims if they are being stalked, it is best to ask victims specific questions about stalking behaviors.

 

In addition, stalking behaviors are varied and may change over time, and most stalkers engage in multiple tactics to scare their victims. Victims respond to trauma differently, and may present as annoyed, frustrated, angry, or show no emotion at all rather than appearing scared.
