Stalking Awareness Month - Stalking is a dangerous crime that affected 6.6 million adults in the United States in one year. The better we understand the facts about stalking, the more we can do to stop it.
That's why the Stalking Resource Center, National Center for Victims of Crime, and the Office on Violence Against 女性, U.S. Department of Justice, launched National Stalking Awareness Month in 2004. Every 1月 since then, communities across the country have focused on stalking - holding events, sharing information, and building awareness about the crime.
