Cyberstalking: Dangers on the Information Superhighway

http://www.ncvc.org/src/main.aspx?dbID=DB_Cyberstalking814

This article provides facts about cyberstalking and expert guidance for victims of cyberstalking.Although there is no universally accepted definition of cyberstalking, the term is generally used to refer to the use of the Internet, e-mail, or other telecommunication technologies to harass or stalk another person. It is not the mere annoyance of unsolicited e-mail. It is methodical, deliberate, and persistent. The communications, whether from someone known or unknown, do not stop even after the recipient has asked the sender to cease all contacts, and are often filled with inappropriate, and sometimes disturbing, content. Essentially, cyberstalking is an extension of the physical form of stalking.
