Stalking: The elusive crime

Stalking has been labelled ‘the crime of the nineties’ (e.g. Goode, 1995). Yet despite international media interest there has been surprisingly little research carried out on the phenomenon. Much of the literature that does exist takes a discursive form, focuses on the pursuit of celebrities and other public Ž gures (Dietz et al., 1991; Fein & Vossekuil, 1998) or attempts to form typologies of ...

Stalking the Elusive Computer Bug

From at least the time of Thomas Edison, U.S. engineers have used the word “bug” to refer to flaws in the systems they developed. This short word conveniently covered a multitude of possible problems. It also suggested that difficulties were small and could be easily corrected. IBM engineers who installed the ASSC Mark I at Harvard University in 1944 taught the phrase to the staff there. Grace ...

Just the FACS or stalking the elusive circulating endothelial progenitor cell.

In 1997, Asahara, Isner, and colleagues startled the vascular biology community by reporting that progenitor cells capable of differentiating into vascular endothelium are present in the circulation of adults and that these cells may contribute to the formation of new blood vessels at sites of injury. These findings challenged the then-established view that although endothelial progenitor cells...

The Evolution of Stalking

We propose that stalking tactics have been shaped by evolutionary processes to help solve mating problems. These include: (1) acquiring new mates, (2) guarding existing mates to prevent defection, (3) fending off mate poachers, (4) poaching someone else’s mate, (5) interfering with intrasexual competitors, (6) reacquiring ex-mates, (7) sexual exploitation and predation, and (8) guarding kin fro...
