Stalking is one of the most frequently experienced types of abuse and most stalkers are former partners or friends of their victims.
According to the British Crime Survey, nine per cent of women and seven per cent of men reported having been stalked in the last year, and just under a quarter of women (23%) reported having experienced stalking since the age of 16. Obscene or threatening phone calls or letters were the most common types of stalking behaviour experienced. (BCS 2005/06).

Stalking can be very scary and no one has to put up with it. It can be constant phone calls, following after work, waiting for you in places and many other forms. The person doing it may not even realise that they are making you feel so uncomfortable as they probally have something wrong with their head!! They are obssessed people!! And usually they can not control themselves.
I don't agree with stalking and think that stalkers should get reported, as clearly they need help to get over there obsession!!!
