    Early Signs of Stalking

    • 9084 Words
    • 37 Pages

    The first step in studying a phenomenon such as stalking is to con¬duct descriptive and correlational studies that provide information on how and why stalking occurs. Another important area of study is the analysis of antecedents, or early signs of stalking, that might be used to pre¬dict the behavior in specific situations or in certain individuals. In this con¬text, early signs of stalking constitute either of the following: (a) problem behaviors in the social relationships of children or adolescents that could be viewed as early manifestations of obsessional following in a specific instance, or (b) childhood risk factors that suggest someone might stalk another person later in life. One reason for exploring the potential early signs of stalking in young people is that it broadens the application of mate¬rial presented thus far by raising awareness of those risk factors that can be targeted for treatment. In this way, preventive programs can be implement¬ed early on so that the risk of stalking might be reduced. A final reason for examining potential risk factors for stalking is that some problem behaviors in childhood that overlap with stalking, such as bullying and sexual harass¬ment, have been more extensively studied and can provide direction for the design of preventive programs for stalking and obsessional following.…

    Gilman introduces a married couple who will be living in a rental home for three months during the summer. The main character and narrator is a woman who remains anonymous throughout the novel that supposedly has nervous depression according to her physician husband, John. Because of her husband’s diagnosis, she has been confined to a room that she considers to have a dreadful appearance because of the yellow wallpaper. Also, John is very overbearing with his wife, and does not support her writing at all. “I did write in spite of them; but it does exhaust me a good deal--having to be so sly about it, or else meet with heavy opposition” (Gilman, 238). Having to hide her journal entries and keeping them a secret creates this ordeal of stress placed upon her shoulders because she feels like her husband has oppressing her from living her life.

It’s almost as if he controls her, especially when he never wishes to hear her opinions on any matter: “And John would not hear of it” (Gilman 239). John believes that he knows what is best for his wife and that she does not know what is best for her.…
