Last year, an estimated 1.3 million people in the United States became the victim of some form of stalking and that number seems to be on the rise. Once considered the unfortunate side effect of celebrity, the vast majority of stalking victims are in fact just regular people. Without the resources of the rich and famous and governed by laws written before internet stalking, identity theft, text intimidation, and digital camera invasions of privacy were even conceived, most victims have been left to try and cope with the abuse on their own. Stop Stalking Me: A Resource Guide for Victims of Traditional & Cyber Stalkers, is more than just a "how to protect yourself" book. It is designed as a real, practical resource for stalking victims, their families, friends, co-workers, and employers. It identifies the different types of stalkers and their motivation and explains how best to combat their predatory methods. While the book addresses traditional stalking methods it also explains the most common, modern methods including hacking, key stroke monitoring, digital camera surveillance, and web and email harassment. Stop Stalking Me Includes the most up-to-date state and federal laws regarding both traditional stalking and harassment and cyber crimes. Written by the victim of a stalker, the book (originally published in as Stalkers, Harassers, and Saboteurs) is full of practical advice to help victims protect themselves and regain control over their lives.
