Welcome to Knowledge City's course on Stocking. Stocking is the repeated unwanted acts that cause a person to be fearful. These acts can include following, showing up unannounced at your home or work, constant unwanted communication, stealing or damaging your property, or sending letters and gifts. Any repeated unwanted act that causes you fear can be stalking. And it occurs more often than you may think. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Intimate Partners Sexual Violence Survey, one in six women and one in 19 men will experience stalking in their lifetime. In the US alone, 7.5 million people are stocked per year according to Stocking Resource Center. Many times, the stalker is someone the person knows and is often from a former relationship or someone who wishes to have a relationship with the person. In this course, you will learn how to identify if you are being stocked, how to keep yourself safe from a stalker, and how technology has changed the ways you can be stocked. Let's start by looking at some of the laws that help protect you from stalkers.
