Abstract

This article critiques the intimate partner-stalking literature via the lens of an advocate who worked with poor, urban, battered women who were stalked. This article contends that the stalking literature could better assess the experiences of women affected by high rates of violent victimizations, chronic poverty, and population density. These issues often allow for these women to be easily monitored by their community, including the batterer's friends and family, and government agencies. This article also suggests measurement strategies for researchers and practitioners who want to measure how poor, primarily minority and/or immigrant, urban women conceptualize their experience with stalking.
