Lethality Risk Factors Series: Stalking

Stalking inflicts severe emotional and psychological harm on victims, often causing heightened anxiety, fear, and a pervasive sense of insecurity. Stalking serves as a significant risk factor for intimate partner homicide, as it often indicates escalating violence and a heightened level of danger within the relationship. This is part 1 of the DV RISC Lethality Risk Factors Webinar Series  which highlights the research behind stalking as a lethality risk factor, identifies how stalking is addressed in specific IPV risk assessments, and recognizes practical steps that can be taken once it is flagged on a risk assessment.
