Domestic Violence – Stalking: Part 3

Domestic Violence – Stalking: Part 3


On a few occasions I have heard people I represent tell me that the situation isn’t that bad, because they are not being hit. They tell me that, eventually, if they ignore the behavior it will simply go away. Well, that may be true in some instances, and ignoring the behavior may be better than feeding into it, however, there are a couple of statistics that may be helpful.
• Each instance of stalking lasts an average of 1.8 years.
• Each instance of stalking lasts an average of 2.2 years if it involves a current or former domestic partner.
According to the statistics the situation will not just go away in many cases. You may need to consult with a professional about your particular situation to help guide you in the right direction.
