Stalking When most people hear the term "stalking," they think of some crazed fan following a certain celebrity's every move. Although this image is certainly one of stalking, many other images exist as well. Stalking can happen in person, through the mail, e-mail, over the phone, or other ways. It may occur in any combination of students, faculty, and staff, including student-to-student or peer harassment, and in any gender combination-- male-male, female-female, female-male, and male-female. The difficulty in stalking cases is that every stalker acts differently, so no one set of guidelines will cover every situation. Additionally, it is the interpretation of the act by the victim that determines whether an act is stalking, not the intention of the actor. Facts/Statistics
