studying societal costs

The book takes a sober look at both the offenders and the victims. For the former, models are proposed to understand the attitudes that can arise in groups that led to or provide favourable grounds to their behaviour. The role of alcohol is examined. A non-trivial factor in many circumstances. The psychology of stalkers is also covered. For victims, or survivors, as the book terms them, there are costs. Including very real financial costs of health care. Plus the intangible but all too real issues of post traumatic stress disorder and depression. Various interventions and preventative measures are mooted. Some are based in involving men in being aware of the full consequences of actions. And in trying to adjust the social norms to make some actions unacceptable.
