Stalker Attachment Theory

96 Words1 Pages
Even though physical harm of a victim does not have to be present, stalking is a crime that can cause deep emotional trauma for victims. Violators who choose to stalk may, but don’t always, suffer from a psychotic disorder and become delusional. However, the choice to stalk is an individual decision made by the offender. Many stalkers mistakenly feel their victim’s desire to be with them and it is common for obsession to occur. The theory of attachment can be applied; however in these cases only the stalker feels them and their victim share mutual bonding.
