This study classifies stalkers into three types: non-domestic, domestic, and erotomania. Stalking behavior exists on a continuum from nondelusional to delusional, aiding criminal investigations.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Stalking is a complex criminal behavior requiring clear classification for effective investigation.
  • Understanding the different types of stalkers and their motivations is crucial for law enforcement and victim support.

Observation:

  • This research identifies three primary categories of stalkers: non-domestic, domestic, and erotomania.
  • Non-domestic stalkers may have casual or public contact with the target.
  • Domestic stalkers have a prior close relationship with the victim, while erotomania stalkers target public figures.

Findings:

  • Stalking behavior is presented as a continuum, ranging from nondelusional to delusional.
  • This classification provides a foundational framework for analyzing stalking incidents.
  • Recognizing these distinctions aids in developing targeted investigative strategies.

Implications:

  • The classification system offers a structured approach to crime analysis in stalking cases.
  • Understanding the stalker's type and the nature of their behavior (delusional or not) can inform risk assessment.
  • This framework supports the development of more effective interventions and legal responses to stalking.
