Captain Robert L. Snow brings to light the drama behind the frightening and growing crime of stalking in America -- and shows us how to use the law to protect ourselves. We witness real-life stalking cases and then are advised as to the best methods of foiling a stalker's agenda. Stalking ranges from the stalking of intimate partners -- more commonly recognized as disgruntled exes -- to stalking strangers. In today's high-tech world, stalkers make use of cellular phones and the Internet. Snow demonstrates that no one is immune to the tactics of stalkers, including the stalking tragedies of Princess Diana, and Hollywood actress Theresa Saldana, as well as other celebrity targets such as Madonna, Jodie Foster, and David Letterman. Captain Snow provides us with crucial information to protect ourselves and our loved ones from all types of stalkers. He outlines much-needed advice on how to prevent stalking before it starts, and step-by-step guidelines on how to deter a stalker. Most important, he advises you on how to get the legal system on your side, to act and bring the stalker to justice.
Snow's message is clear: Stalking is a serious and terrifying crime, but it can be stopped! He provides both an understanding and a proactive response that stalking victims need. Eye-opening yet practical, this volume is an invaluable tool for stopping a stalker before he stops you.

Stalking, Harassment, and Murder in the Workplace: Guidelines for Protection and Prevention
by Bernadette H. Schell, Nellie M. Lanteigne. 264 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Researched and written by two specialists in human resource management and workplace law, respectively here is sensible, practical advice on how to recognize, understand, cope with, and prevent a major and still growing crime in today's organizations. Their "red flag" indicators that a stalking crime is being committed, plus detailed analyses of the literature, court cases, and accounts by victims themselves, are specially designed and presented to help organizational managers create and implement successful anti-stalking and anti-harassment programs in their organizations. Schell and Lanteigne's narrative case studies make clear how victims act and react, and provide insight into the minds of stalkers. An important contribution to our understanding of a growing, extremely dangerous "happening," and an essential resource for executives and managers who have to cope with it.

Blind-Sided: Homicide Where it Is Least Expected (Chap. 5 "Stalking")
by Gregory K. Moffatt. 256 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

While print and broadcast media are filled every day with homicide accounts, the general public seems most disturbed by crimes attributed to individuals who otherwise seem "normal." Murders by those perceived to be historically non-violent often appear to erupt with no warning whatsoever. Moffatt argues that certain key predictors of a predisposition to violence are usually present. Citing case studies of workplace, school, and domestic homicides, he debunks the myth that these murders happen "out of the blue." He also includes valuable information on predicting and preventing future tragedies.
