The authors interviewed 62 women who have been stalked by violent partners, many of them for years, to describe their daily lives and the critical cultural and community factors that could alleviate or prevent the incidence of stalking. The authors describe perpetrators, coping tactics, stalking tactics, earlier victimization, incidents of physical abuse, health problems associated with stress, resources, barriers to getting help, and the behavior of a justice system which has been known to dismiss, ignore, or more fully victimize women being stalked.
