Abstract

Research indicates that stalking is an extension of intimate partner violence. The overall purpose of tis study was to better understand stalkers by examining the association between a protective order history and the court's processing of subsequent stalking, and to examine patterns of reoffending. This study examined a sample of 346 males who were charged with stalking in 1999 in one state.
