Book
Click, stalk, destroy: inside the minds of people who stalk online
On the shelf? Just pop in.
For years, Dr Jessica Taylor was stalked - not by a lone figure lurking outside her home, but by groups of people online. They watched her. They monitored her life. They spread rumours, stole her identity, analysed her posts, contacted everyone she had ever known and coordinated attacks designed to ruin her life. To end her life. And they believed they were justified. Like all stalkers do. In this book, Taylor takes readers inside the disturbing psychology of online stalking. Combining her professional research with real-life examples and her own experience, Taylor unravels the psychology of this behaviour as well as the radically changing landscape of stalking, including the prevalence of female online stalkers and 'she was asking for it' narratives.
