Stalking and Related Harassment of Secondary School Counselors
Romans, John S. C.; Hays, Joni R.; Pearson, Christy; Duroy, L. Chris; Carlozzi, Barbara
Journal of School Violence, v5 n4 p21-33 2006
In a study of stalking in secondary schools, 140 respondents reported they had been stalked, with perpetrators being evenly distributed between students and non-students. The largest non-student group of perpetrators was parents of students. Harassing phone calls and threatening correspondence constituted most of the stalking behaviors, but respondents also reported being followed, being watched, encountering a student with a weapon, and being victims of assault and property crimes. Although a number of negative consequences were reported to have resulted from the stalking incidents, most surprising considering the amount of violence and threatening experiences reported was that the majority of victims (57.9%) reported no concern for their safety. Prevention strategies for individuals and schools are suggested. (Contains 2 tables.)
