TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Student pursuers: an investigation of pursuit and stalking in the student-faculty relationship JO - Violence and victims A1 - Winkleman, Ashley A1 - Winstead, Barbara A. SP - 543 EP - 559 VL - 26 IS - 5 N2 - Data from faculty and students provide information on the prevalence of unwanted pursuit and stalking in the student-faculty relationship. Among faculty, 67.8% reported unwanted pursuit. For the most serious case, 6%-11% met criteria for stalking. Among students, 4.1% reported engaging in unwanted pursuit of faculty. Both faculty and students perceived anger (especially for male students) to be the motive for student unwanted pursuit/stalking, with some endorsement of romantic interest and concern about the role of mental illness. Sex differences suggest female faculty members are more often a target of unwanted pursuit or stalking and more likely to experience fear.
