Young people are among the most at risk of stalking – but many don’t recognise it

A recent study highlights a troubling trend: young people aged 16 to 24 are among the highest risk groups for stalking, yet many fail to recognize it when it happens, especially if the stalker is someone they know. This lack of awareness can result in delayed reporting and support, making it harder for victims to seek help. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing better educational programs and support systems to protect vulnerable youth and ensure they can identify and report stalking behaviors promptly.
