Critique Of Stalking Research
Research Critique
Introduction
The main purpose of the article Stalking and Age; is to look at the three different age groups when it comes to stalking. Younger stalkers are considered 16 years or younger, adult stalkers are considered 17 to 59 years, and older stalkers are 60 and over. There are differences that can appear to have implications for investigation, intervention, risk assessment, and management. In this article there is original research that was conducted. An exploratory approach was taken in this article; comparisons are made across a wide range of variables covering stalker and victim demographics, the stalking process, impact on victims, third parties, and victims’ responses to being stalked (North, Scott, & Sheridan 2014). …show more content…
North, Scott, & Sheridan (2014) present the data through the use of charts and tables. They also had chi-square analysis. The demographics show the stalkers age and frequency. They also mention that most stalkers were male in each age group 61.1% for the younger group, 80.6% for the adults, and 86.7% for the older stalkers. There was a strong positive correlation between victim and stalker when the stalking began. The main findings of the article were that the three age groups were excessively similar across the majority of the variables examined. Younger stalkers tended to stalk the same age group or age group that their parents were in. Older stalkers targeted younger acquaintances, this specific group was bimodal; target age similarity to ex aged partners and younger aged as well. Adult stalkers were most likely to stalk ex-intimate partners and within own age …show more content…
A lot of younger stalkers are in school, that’s where a good amount of hate crime and bullying occurs, and then it leads to stalking, which then can lead the victim into suicidal thoughts. Many uneducated children are unaware of the consequences that their action may have.
Solutions to Limitations A solution to the limitation mentioned above can provide the younger and uneducated population, an extra circular activity class. They can learn about the important of life. They can also learn communication skills, and how to deal with stress. As well as, being role model.
Future Research Cal State Fullerton, in a nice school located in the city of Fullerton, California. For fall 2015, there were a total of 38,948 students enrolled, with 56% being female (Fullerton, 2015). With this being said I conduct a research to find out if college students are stalker. I would want to know what motivates them, how they do it, and what the outcome of their stalking is. I would only want to focus on college students, since they are 18 to 60 years of age.
