Stalking Questionnaire

       We are interested in finding out more about the experiences of stalking victims and survivors in order to try and increase the quality of available support. Stalking is widespread in the UK, with up to one in every five women and one in 20 men experiencing stalking at some point in their lives. However, support for victims through official channels is often limited and little is known about how victims of stalking cope. We would like to find out about your experiences, about how you have coped, and about how you view the response from various agencies (such as the criminal justice system, the medical profession and the media). Our aim is to campaign to improve services and support for victims. We would therefore be most grateful if you could complete this questionnaire. Stalking is an extraordinary and complex crime, so the questionnaire is (unfortunately!) quite detailed. Work through it at your own pace, perhaps taking breaks and returning to the questionnaire when you feel ready. Results will be made available on the NSS website www.nss.org.uk. Please contact Tracey Morgan at NSS (research@nss.org.uk or via an SAE to PO Box 7836, Crowthorne, Berkshire, RG45 7YA or Dr Lorraine Sheridan at the University of Leicester (0116 223 1012 or Lorraine.Sheridan@LE.AC.UK if you would like further information.
       All responses are 100% confidential and there are no means by which your completed questionnaire can be traced to your identity.
       The questionnaire has seven sections in all. If you think we have missed anything out, or if you would like to tell us more about any particular aspect of your experience, then go to the end where there is lots of space for you to add further details.
       If you would prefer a paper version of this questionnaire, then please contact Lorraine Sheridan (contact details as above).

*** Please make sure you are using the Microsoft browser Internet Explorer 6 when filling in this questionnaire. Thank you.***
