TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Stalking victimisation: prevalence and dynamics amongst Spanish university students JO - European journal of crime, criminal law and criminal justice A1 - Villacampa, Carolina A1 - Pujols, Alejandra SP - 347 EP - 370 VL - 25 IS - 4 N2 - Stalking was recently criminalised in Spain and other European countries, following the signing of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, despite a lack of empirical knowledge of victimisation by this phenomenon. Previous research carried out in the USA and in other European countries on victimisation by stalking with female samples has shown that young women are the most frequently victimised group. Based on those findings, research was conducted in Spain with a sample of 1,162 university students, including women and men. This paper presents the main findings of this research, determining the prevalence of stalking victimisation, the victim and stalker profiles, and the dynamics of this type of victimisation.
