摘要

Stalking is a dangerous social problem causing extensive fear and emotional/psychological harm among victims. The current study is the first to examine the impact of stalking on victims’ reasonable and subjective fears in the U.S. using the 2006 National Crime Victimization Survey’s Supplemental Victimization Survey data. Latent class analysis was utilized to identify class membership among 1,527 victims, revealing three distinct trajectory groups and significant associations between revenge and obsession motives, offender mental illness, and victim fear/emotional distress class membership. Victims who felt reasonable and/or subjective fears were more likely to seek informal and professional help rather than police assistance.
