Different Types of Stalkers

Whenever we talk about serious crimes, such as arson or murder, we use these terms in a very general sense. What I mean is that if we take the crime of arson, for example, there are many different types of arsonists out there. The criminal justice system recognizes serial arsonists and pyromaniacs. Both of these people commit arson, but serial arsonists and pyromaniacs have different motivations to commit arson. The same holds true for murder. Once again, the criminal justice system recognizes different types of murderers, ranging from mass murderers, serial murderers, and murderers who kill then commit suicide. Just like arson, there are many different types of murderers, each with different motivations. However, they all commit murder.
Stalking is no different than arson or murder in that there are many different subgroups of stalkers out there according to the website stalkinghelp.org, the website where this article’s information comes from. Each stalker, therefore, has different motivations that drive them to stalk. In last week’s article, I gave the reader a brief introduction as to what stalking is, who stalkers are, and who the victims are. Today, I continue this introduction by describing a few types of stalkers and what behaviors they show toward their victims.
The first type of stalker I will describe is the rejected stalker. Most of us sometime in our lives have engaged in a relationship with a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Sometimes, these relationships work out and the partners get married and lead a happy life together. Sometimes, relationships do not work out, and the partners go their separate ways to explore different people. When relationships go sour and partners break up with one another, both partners have to cope with the sorrows of breaking up. Like the popular sixties song says, “Breaking Up is Hard to Do,” but, with the passage of time, wounds heal and people move on.
Sometimes partners find it very hard to let go, as was the case between Melissa and me. It may be due to the person’s mental state of mind. Once the relationship has ended, the rejected person wants “to be in a relationship with the victim again or seek revenge on the victim” (stalkinghelp.org). Because the rejected person believes that their ex-partner was the only love in their life, the words “I don’t want to see you anymore” does not register with them. In order to win the ex-partner’s love back, therefore, the rejected person begins to stalk them. We call these stalkers rejected stalkers. These people may show signs of egoism, jealousy, low self esteem, dependence of others, and lack communication and social skills (stalkinghelp.org).
In order to understand why this type of person stalks, we need to analyze these characteristics. If a person is highly egotistical, they believe that the world revolves around them and that everybody else is wrong. If, for example, a person breaks up with an egoist, the egoist wonders how anybody could possibly break a relationship with them (unless they’re cheating, of course). Rejected stalkers have high levels of jealousy. During the relationship, they always want their partner nearby every minute of the day. If the partner visits their friends for the evening, or simply goes to the mailbox for five minutes, the rejected stalker would lead him or herself to believe their partner is cheating on them. The rejected stalker’s suspicions would be, to him or her, corroborated when their partner breaks the relationship off.
Rejected stalkers also have feelings of humiliation, are overly dependant on others for help, and have very poor communication skills. The reason might be because the rejected stalker had abusive parents, or went through some sort of abuse in school. If abuse was part of the rejected stalker’s life, they definitely have low self esteem because people were constantly putting them down throughout their life. As a result, they are not confident people which lead them to depend on others for help throughout their life. Due to this lack of self-esteem and confidence, the stalker lacks communication and social skills because they fear that whatever they say, others might put them down or make fun of them. Thus, when the rejected stalker enters into a relationship with another person, the stalker believes he or she is being accepted by that person. If that person cuts the stalker out of their life by breaking off the relationship, the stalker would feel that his or her life was over and would do anything to get back with the partner; even go so far as to seek revenge (stalkinghelp.org).
Quite similar to rejected stalkers, resentful stalkers base their stalking on revenge, but revenge for a different reason. Suppose, for example, this person was the “nerd” in high school. He used to sit in the front of the class, not get into any trouble with the teachers, do all his homework in a timely manner, and be a perfect angel. As a result, some of his classmates were jealous of him and wanted to make his life a miserable hell. They would put him down all the time, write harassing letters and hang them on his locker, spread rumors about him, and do other horrible things until the time he graduates. It affected him so much and so long that whenever he goes into a social setting with other fellow peers, he is worried that they will pick on him again.
He became employed with company XYZ. He seems to be fitting in quite nicely, until a few of his colleagues starts to harass him and pick on him. Since his high school years traumatized him so much, it brings back bad memories. By this time, he has enough of the harassments and he takes matters into his own hands. He begins to stalk those who are harassing him in order to make them fear him, but also to seek his revenge on them; because when they “pick” on him, he sees the same people that “picked” on him in high school.
This example is the type of feeling that a resentful stalker feels. All their life people constantly harassed them or humiliated them in front of others. Over time, the more this person is harassed, the more paranoid they become, and the more they say enough is enough (stalkinghelp.org). According to stalkinghelp.org, these stalkers want to scare their victims because the victim has upset the stalker so much that the stalker wants to seek revenge on them. They do this because they look at the victim and see the very same people that harassed the stalker in the past. These stalkers are more likely to view themselves as the victim rather than the perpetrator (stalkinghelp.org).
Sounds like revenge stalkers and resentful stalkers are the same, but have different names. The difference between the two is that the revenge stalker stalks intimate partners while resentful stalkers stalk colleagues or complete strangers (stalkinghelp.org). Even though their goals are relatively the same, their victims and motivations differ dramatically.
Finally, erotomaniacs are the most interesting types of stalkers. I remember reading portions of a novel written by a doctor who was stalked by an erotomaniac (the name of the book, however, escapes me). The only thing she did to initiate the stalking was offer her patient, the erotomaniac, some advice on a medical condition. The patient started to believe the doctor was in love with him; that began a horrific chain of events that plagued the doctor for the next few years.
As stalkinghelp.org tells us, the erotomanic “believes that he is loved by the stalking victim. He believes this even though his victim has done nothing to suggest it is true, and may have made statements that she does not and never will love him” (stalkinghelp.org). It may be a simple smile, a simple hello, or a simple act to spark an erotomaniac to stalk. The good news, however; is that the chances of anybody being stalked by an erotomaniac are very small.
Erotomaniacs suffer from a wide range of mental illnesses. These illnesses include paranoia, delusions, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder (stalkinghelp.org). Most of the time, if these stalkers get psychological treatment, more often than not, they stop stalking individuals (stalkinghelp.org).
This article only focused on three of the many groups of stalkers out there. However, out of all the groups of stalkers, they have one thing in common. Most of these stalkers suffer from some type of mental disorder. Most of these conditions by themselves are treatable with either medication or therapy. During the course of my research, I stumbled across a statement which made me think. The statement went something like this: if funds for mental institutions increased, we would see a decrease in stalking related offenses.
I sense a theory beginning to develop.
If you would like more information about the various types of stalkers out there, visit www.stalkinghelp.org to see a full list of the types of stalkers out there. The next few weeks will begin to explore a little bit deeper why stalking begins. Here is the schedule (which could change without notice) for the weeks to come:
September 18, 2006: What is the link between domestic violence and stalking?
September 25, 2006: What to do if you are being stalked?
October 9, 2006: Rehabilitation programs for victims.
October 16, 2006: Rehabilitation programs for stalkers: are there any?

What is Stalking?

During the past three weeks, I gave you all just a brief look into what stalking is and how dangerous it could potentially be by telling you a story that happened to me. Even though my stalking has diminished tremendously, I am still keeping a watchful eye on the situation because the matter was not brought to the attention of the police, and my stalker has every intention of doing me harm; even though we are many miles away from each other. Stalkers have been known to stalk their victim for a while, then stop doing it for a few years, and then start the stalking all over again (although the percentage of these cases is extremely low). This week’s blog entry begins to explore this silent crime called stalking. This week, I will inform you what stalking is, give you a general sense as to the profile of a stalker and victim, the two main types of stalkers, and how stalking can escalate into a dangerous situation.
The first thing that anybody should know is what stalking means. The legal definition of stalking is generally “the willful, malicious, and repeated following and harassing of another person… (Swanson, 2003, p. 325).” In other words, the stalker must have the intention of following a victim. Whether this intent is based on revenge for the victim leaving a relationship, or whether the intent is based on a delusional fantasy, intent must be present for the crime to be called stalking. Second, the stalker must have malice toward the victim, or have the intent to see a person suffer. Finally, the victim has to be harassed and followed by said individual. Once all these ingredients are present, the crime is called stalking.
In layman’s terms, stalking “involves repeated physical or visual proximity, nonconsensual communication, or verbal, written, or implied threats sufficient to cause fear in a reasonable person” (Siegel, 2002, p. 241). In other words, stalking behaviors include following a person, appearing at a victim’s home or place of employment, making harassing phone calls to the victim, writing letters or leaving unwanted presents, vandalizing the victim’s property, and making credible threats toward the victim (Swanson, 2003). Even though these actions may seem like a simple nuisance to most people, and some might even shrug these incidents off, I cannot emphasize this enough that these actions are to be taken very seriously. As you will see later on in this article, stalkers go through a series of steps which sometimes progress to homicide. How are people, therefore, able to classify a person as a stalker?
I gave a presentation about domestic violence and stalking in one of my classes in college. My opening words stated that a person sitting in a crowded room could have the HIV virus and nobody would even know it. Why? Because just by looking at a person, nobody can determine if that person has HIV or not. To place this example in the context of stalking, a stalker could be sitting in a crowded room and nobody would even know that that person was a stalker. Just as the person with the HIV virus, just by looking at a person, nobody can determine if that person is a stalker or not.
Doris Hall researched and analyzed 145 stalkers from across the United States. She found that 67% of stalkers were white, followed by 10% African American. Most stalkers (24%) were between the ages of 41 and 50, and most of them (17%) worked in professional occupations. Most interesting was the fact that 52% of stalkers were found to abuse drugs or alcohol, 30% had a mental illness, and 49% had a history of violence or physical abuse (Meloy, 1998). What makes classifying a stalker so difficult is that an individual may possess all of these characteristics and still not stalk people. There are some factors that come into play which combine with Hall’s statistics to make people stalkers; factors that will be discussed in a few weeks.
In combination of these statistics, there are two groups of stalkers; love-obsession stalkers, and simple obsession stalkers (Swanson, 2003).
Love-obsession stalkers comprise about 20% to 25% of stalking cases (Swanson, 2003). The stalker develops an obsession with another person that is either an acquaintance or a stranger. These stalkers typically suffer from mental disorders such as schizophrenia or paranoia. More likely, these stalkers have delusional fantasies involving their victims (Swanson, 2003). An example of such a delusional person would be a victim smiling at the stalker or simply saying hello. The stalker would fantasize about that situation and believe the victim wants to be their friend or lover even though the victim just was being friendly.
Simple obsession stalkers are the most common type of stalking, comprising 70% to 80% of stalking cases (Swanson, 2003). The victims have been in some form of intimate relationship with the stalker, either a boyfriend or girlfriend, or an ex-husband or ex-wife (Swanson, 2003). Some of these stalkers might have psychological disorders, but most of these simple obsession stalkers have personality disorders (Swanson, 2003). Simple obsession stalkers more often than not are those who are socially maladjusted, have immature emotions, feelings of powerlessness, the sense that they cannot succeed in relationships by socially acceptable means, are extremely jealous and paranoid, and have feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem (Swanson, 2003).
Doris Hall’s research also focused on 145 stalking victims. She derived the following characteristics of stalking victims. Eighty-four percent of the victims were white, 34% were never married, 24% were between the ages of 18 and 25, and 31% were employed in a professional workplace (Meloy, 1998).
Nobody deserves to be stalked. If you have ever been stalked (which I hope you haven’t), the crime changes your life. After I was stalked, I noticed that I never walked in a parking lot without having my car keys in my hand. I always carried my cell phone with me just in case anything did happen. I also found myself trusting people less, and even found it hard to be myself while dating other women. Although the after effects of me being stalked is minor, at its extreme case, victims tend to abuse alcohol, drugs, or even commit suicide because they cannot cope with the emotional and mental scars caused by the stalking (Davis, 2002). Just like I became after my stalking, people become less trusting of others, victims blame themselves for being stalked, and above all they suffer extreme psychological and emotional abuse from being stalked (Davis, 2002).
But how does stalking produce extreme trauma which may last for a lifetime in victims? Stalkers tend to have four stages in which they use toward their victim. According to FBI profiler John Douglas in his novel Obsession, first, the stalker tries to win the victim over by giving them gifts, love letters, flowers, etc. If the victim ignores these gifts, the stalker would increase their effort to make the victim notice him or her. The stalker then pries into the victim’s life by acting very possessive and becoming very jealous of the victim having other relationships (Douglas, 1998). Keep in mind that stalkers want complete control in a relationship, and if the stalker thinks their victim is not paying attention to him or her, the stalker would become jealous. Once this happens, the stalker may harass or threaten the victim (Douglas, 1998). The victim may or may not take this threat seriously, but if they ignore the threat, sometimes, out of anger, the stalker may become homicidal toward the victim or threaten to commit suicide (Douglas, 1998).
As I mentioned earlier, stalking is a very serious situation and should be taken very seriously. If you are being stalked, I recommend (besides calling the police, of course) keeping a detailed log of each and every stalking incident. This will be discussed in depth within the next few weeks.
To sum up what was discussed, this article focused on the legal and clinical definitions of stalking. I also described what some of the stalking behaviors are so you could notice the warning signs and recognize if you are being stalked or not. I also compared the profiles of stalkers (while describing the two main types of stalkers) and victims. Victims also experience extreme trauma after being stalked; the reason was because of the cycle that stalkers use to control their victims.
The next few articles are going to dive deeper into describing what this heinous crime is all about. Here is the schedule (which could change without notice) for the weeks to come:
September 11, 2006: What are the different categories of stalkers?
September 18, 2006: What is the link between domestic violence and stalking?
September 25, 2006: What to do if you are being stalked?
IF THE SCHEDULING CHANGES, I WILL POST A REVISED SCHEDULE ON THE MONDAY THE BLOG WOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED.
