Prevention information:
Stalking:
There is a difference between State of Alaska statutes, federal statutes, and the U.S. Department of Education definitions regarding stalking. However, stalking is a series of actions that make a person afraid, distressed, or in danger. Stalking can be online or in-person and is serious.
Here is some information about stalking:
Stalkers most often demonstrate multiple behaviors:
• Unwanted contact,
• Following or tracking you,
• Gathering information about you,
• Sending unwanted gifts or letters,
• Showing up or waiting for you at places like class, residence hall or home, work-place, library, or the gym,
• Damaging your property,
• Spreading rumors (on-line or in person)
• Harassing or threating you or those close to you.
What you can do if you believe you are the victim of stalking:
• Trust your instincts (the stalking is not your fault, and you cannot control the stalker’s behavior).
• Contact people you trust and tell them about it.
• Contact University offices such as the University Police, Dean of Students Office, Office of Equity and Compliance, Residence Life, or Human Resources.
• Document everything! Free logs are available online: https://www.stalkingawareness.org/.../SPARC...
• Meet with appropriate University officials to develop a safety plan.
