Abstract

Stalking is becoming a substantial social pathology in contemporary times. Nowadays, stalking adopted a form of cyberstalking, which means harassment or intimidation using contemporary communication channels, such as sending a large number of e-mails to the person who does not want it. There have been numerous publications in the scientific literature that described stalking, emphasizing its sociological, psychological and legal effects. These studies have revealed e.g. the causes of stalking or characterized stalker profiles. It can be adopted that similar to studies on other crimes, the papers on stalking have paid little attention to victims although victimology is an important part of criminology. Presentation of the victimological aspects of stalking means the emphasis on destruction resulting from being a victim of such pathological behaviours. Victims of stalking feel anxiety, fear, uncertainty and changes in interpersonal relations, changes in workplaces and places of residence notwithstanding. It is worth analysing the texts concerning stalking in order to reveal its victimological aspects. For example, one can refer to unique Polish psychological investigations conducted by I. Jab?o?ska in 2011-2012 in a group of female victims of stalking and relating to emotional intelligence and personality traits as approached by the Big Five model. As results from these examinations, female stalking victims were characterized by higher intensification of depression compared to women who were not the victims of this destructive phenomenon while the results should be considered worrying.
