Vengeful Stalking

Vengeful stalking is one of the fastest growing crimes today. Unlike the other forms of stalking which are based on attempts to develop or maintain an intimate relationship, the vengeful stalker seeks to punish the victim for some real or imagined slight. While the other types of stalkers may ultimately employ vengeful stalking tactics, the person who starts out as a vengeful stalker is often a disgruntled employee or co-worker, business associate, client, or business competitor. The stalker seeks to destroy the victim’s business, financial stability, marriage, social position, or reputation.
