‘By all evidence we are in the world to do nothing.’ –Cioran
When we hear about stalkers, we generally think of men. But there are certainly women who stalk [estimated at 6% to 26% of stalkers] and now we have some research to give us information on identifying them. Like their male stalker counterparts, women who make threats are more likely to be violent; women who write letters are less likely to be violent; and women [and men] who stalk their prior sexual intimates are the most likely to be violent.
This research article was based on a large database of stalkers (N=1005) from which a sample of 143 female stalkers was gathered.
