Car Safety Tips:

Stalking

  • Women are 3 times more likely to be stalked than raped. (www.safehorizon.org)
  • Over 1.4 million women and men are stalked in the U.S. each
    year. (www.safehorizon.org)
  • About a 1 in every 4 stalking victims obtain restraining orders.
  • In many, many instances, obtaining a restraining order for a stalker
    will only make a bad situation worse. From the stalker’s point
    of view, restraining orders are humiliating.
  • Tell a stalker “no” once and only once, and then never
    give them the satisfaction of a reaction again. The more you
    respond, the more you teach them that their actions will elicit
    a response.
