  • Policing Expert David Thomason Talking about Stalking
    Jul 4 2024


    Stalking is an underrated crime, often minimised by both victims (at first) and professionals. Our session today with a specialist police officer David Thomason


    Many fail to recognise the profound psychological impact and pervasive fear that stalking can instill. Victims frequently dismiss the behaviour as merely annoying or harmless, while professionals may overlook its severity due to its often subtle and insidious nature.


    However, stalking can escalate into more violent acts, and its persistent intrusion can lead to severe emotional and psychological distress. Acknowledging the seriousness of stalking is crucial for providing adequate support and intervention, ensuring the safety and well-being of victims.
