Stalking is a common issue on college campuses
by Green & Gold News |
Here are some statistics from the Stalking Prevention and Awareness and Resource Center (SPARC):
The most common stalking behaviors reported by college stalking victims include:
- Unwanted voice or text messages (45%)
- Unwanted emails or social media (44%)
- Being approached or seeing the stalker show up at places when the victim did not want them to be there (37%)
Between 6% and 39% of college students report being stalked since entering college. Because stalking is so common, many people don鈥檛 recognize it. Practice being an 鈥渁ctive bystander鈥 and speaking up if a friend is experiencing stalking. Report stalking to the Office of Equity and Compliance at 907-786-0818 or uaa_titleix@alaska.edu. As always, in an emergent situation, contact UPD at 907-786-1120 or call 911.
