Abusing Privacy

By BARIS ILERIGELEN

A professor of cardiology and his wife, chosen as the main targets by a female stalker-abuser, the manipulations of the event by the media reporters and never-ending court proceedings...Female criminalilty is rarely studied and little understood. Although most stalker-abusers are men and their victims are women, females who stalk others remain a largely opaque subject among criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. According to the results of a cohort study, female and male stalkers vary according to the motivation for their pursuit and their choice of victim. A female stalker typically seeks to attain a close intimacy with her victim, who usually is someone previously known and frequently is a person cast in the professional role of helper. Female stalkers were also more likely than male stalkers to pursue victims of the same gender. While the contexts for stalking may differ by gender, the intrusiveness of the behaviors and potential for harm does not. An analysis of the literature revealed that health care professionals are at higher risk of victimization than the general population.
