According to the Office for National Statistics in the United Kingdom, stalking involves two or more incidents causing distress, fear, or alarm.
Some examples of stalking include:
- “Receiving obscene or threatening unwanted letters, emails, text messages or phone calls;
- Having obscene or threatening information about them placed on the internet;
- A person waiting or loitering around their home or workplace;
- Being followed or watched.”
According to data, 1.5 million people aged 16 and over experienced stalking between March 2023 and March 2024. These levels of stalking have been “fairly consistent” over the past decade.
The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) found that women are more likely to be victims of stalking, with over one in five women (20.2%) having experienced stalking at some point in their lives since the age of 16.
