Webinar Description
Thursday, January 29 at 2:00 PM (ET) | 11:00 AM (PT)
Stalking is a risk factor for both lethal and non-lethal violence. It is further linked to sexual assault, economic harm, and other forms of victimization, underscoring its significance as a public safety concern.
Within college and university settings, stalking presents additional challenges that impact campus safety, victim well-being, education outcomes, and perpetrator accountability. Although anyone can be affected by stalking, coping with these behaviors is often difficult, and experiences are frequently minimized, denied, and dismissed.
This webinar will examine how current perceptions of stalking often are misleading and harmful and will propose a new framework for understanding and assessing stalking. Attendees will also be introduced to a tool to facilitate assessment, understanding, and communication about stalking cases.
