Data from this study are compared with those from a previous study conducted by Sheridan, Davies, and Boon in 2001 that investigated stalking perceptions and experiences in a sample of 348 British women. Forty-two items, representing a continuum of likely stalking and nonstalking behaviors, were presented to women, who were subsequently asked to state which items they had personally experienced. Within this sample, 27% reported at least one incident of stalking compared to 24% in the Sheridan et al. (2001b) study. Despite cultural and legal disparities, some similarities and differences existed in perceptions of which activities do or do not constitute stalking.

Key Words: stalking • harassment • perceptions of stalking
