Stalking Research: Past Achievements and Future Promises (Organized by Korean Society of Criminology in America (KoSCA))

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This thematic session consists of four presentations which focus on (1) the results of a latent class analysis on a typology of stalking victim’s coping strategies, (2) racial comparison of stalking victimization, fear of safety, and self-seeking behavior using the National Crime Victimization Survey’s Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS); (3) the results of a latent class analysis on intimate partner violence perpetration and post-breakup stalking among South Korean men using data for the Violence Against Women-Intimate Partner Violence (VAW-IPV), and (4) the results of a systematic review of meta-analyses on risk factors in stalking. Based on the findings, presenters will offer recommendations for future stalking research and implications for program, policy, and practice.
