//Psychological Care / Relationship Violence
Stalking is a series of behaviors or activities
occurring more than once that together instill
fear in the victim, threaten her/his safety, or
cause emotional stress to the victim.
Such behaviors may include but are not limited to:
-
Information gathering by the stalker
-
Persistent unwanted physical approach and/or requests for dates, meetings, etc.
-
Leaving unwanted notes or flowers
-
Observing, following or "coincidentally" showing up where the victim is
-
Sitting outside the victim's home, class, or work place
-
Threatening e-mail, mail, beeper codes, or phone calls
These are just a few examples. If you feel threatened by unwanted pursuit from anyone in any way, contact FSU Victim Advocates at 644-7061 or the FSU Police Department at 644-1234.
Because some elements of stalking, independent of a pattern of harassment, may not constitute a crime, it is usually necessary to show a pattern of unwanted harassment in order to charge someone with stalking.
-
If you feel comfortable doing so, let the stalker know in writing that you do not want any contact him/her whatsoever of any kind. Keep a copy of this written notice and end all contact with the stalker. Do not respond to calls, email, letters etc. Any response is considered contact and may feed his/her behavior.
-
Consider keeping a log of the date, time, and type of any contact that the stalker attempts.
-
Let your friends & family know if you are being stalked. Share all relevant information with them, including documentation of harassment.
