Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Legal and academic definitions of stalking require that a victim experience a high level of fear in order to characterize the behaviors as stalking, however little research has examined the causes of fear. Research has shown that women are more likely to be stalked than men and that women are more likely to be fearful than men. This lends the question whether fear from stalking is a result of the gender of the victim or the characteristics of the stalking. In the National Violence Against Women study, stalking incidents are nested within individuals, with some individuals experiencing up to five incidents of stalking. I employ multi-level analysis to determine if fear from stalking is associated with characteristics of the victim (the victim�s gender) or characteristics of the stalking (offender�s gender, type of stalking that occurred). I find that fear from stalking is caused by both victim characteristics and stalking characteristics.
