Types of Stalkers

There is considerable inconsistency in research literature with regard to the classification of types of stalkers and categories of stalkers that exist.

The NSP always recommend you get a professional opinion on the type of stalker you have, and the risk that they pose to you.

Some of the more common types of stalker include:

• Grudge or vengeful (resentment)
• Erotomania or Delusional (fixation)
• Cyber (internet)
• Intimate (ex-partner)
• Infatuation (seeking partner)
• Sadistic (Obsessive control)

We at NSP think that all forms of stalking should be taken very seriously and not underestimated. Be proactive and stay safe.

Gender Difference

While statistics show that one in twenty men are stalked, the figure for women is much higher at one in five.
