"Stalking
Victimization in the United States"

2009, by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS),
serves as a wake-up call about a serious and often misunderstood crime, says

Center. Stalking Victimization
in the United States, the largest collection of data on
stalking prevalence and behavior to date, found that 3.4 million persons
identified themselves as victims of stalking in a 12-month period. This figure, which represents an
increase of 2 million victims per year over the findings of a key 1998
study, suggests the urgent need for a
more comprehensive response to the crime.
