The definition of stalking
Stalking is an aggressive form of harassment; a stalker will have developed an obsession with the person they’re stalking. Stalking is an offence, and can include:
- regularly following, watching, or spying on someone
- checking someone’s internet use, email or other forms of communication
- hanging around somewhere that they know the person often visits
- repeatedly going to someone’s house uninvited
- interfering with someone’s belongings or property
- identity theft
Anyone can be a victim of stalking, and it is never the fault of the targeted person. Stalking can be committed by someone you know, or someone you don’t.
Stalkers can be anyone, but generally, people who stalk others tend to be former partners, obsessive acquaintances, or strangers with fixations.
What are the signs of stalking?
Stalking is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences; it's important to be aware of the signs. This includes receiving threatening or harassing emails or letters, being followed around, and having your property damaged.If you notice any of these behaviours, it's important to report the situation to the police. By doing so, the perpetrator can be investigated, and hopefully be brought to justice.
What should you do if you are a victim of stalking?
Some simple measures you can take to stay safe include being aware of your surroundings at all times and keeping up with security precautions in your home or place of work. Most importantly, you should contact the police. They will help you report the incident and provide the necessary support to help you through the process.
How to report stalking
Contact your local police force and provide as much information as possible about the suspect, incident(s), and evidence of stalking (if any); it’s worth documenting everything. If the stalker does anything that makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, take pictures or video of the incident and keep it safe for future reference.
How Do you Protect Yourself from a Stalker?
Keep a Record
To build a picture of a stalker’s campaign against you, evidence is essential. Of course, stalking investigators like us can help, but our evidence will only complement your detailed log of stalking. Keep a record of any strange or harassing behaviour, even if it seems insignificant, so that you can report it to the police.
Take precautions
Do all you can to evade the stalker, and keep your life as private as possible. Tighten up your online security settings, avoid direct contact with the stalker (including responses to their communications), and vary your routine so that it’s harder to track your movements. If it all becomes too much, stay with a trusted friend or family member to remove yourself from isolation at home, and to be helped through this difficult time by a loved one.
File an official report
If the stalker continues to act violently, or even if they don’t, it’s essential to contact the police. Give them as much information as you can, even if you think the details aren’t so important. Remember, there is help available – restraining orders or other legal measures that can provide additional safety.
Our stalking investigation services
Gathering the evidence you need to prove your stalker’s actions can feel overwhelming – and it could put you in danger. In this case, a team of professionals on your side can not obtain solid proof that you’re being stalked, but also give you peace of mind that help is on hand.
Our stalking investigators can sensitively and professionally handle your case, combining surveillance techniques with research skills, and the confidence to seek witness statements, to provide you with the evidence you need that you’re being stalked.
What to do if you feel in immediate danger
If stalking is making you feel in immediate danger, do not hesitate to call 999. If it isn’t safe to speak, you can respond to the operator’s questions by coughing, or by pressing 55 on your keypad when prompted; this transfers your call to the police, and they should be able to locate you from your phone.
