Darren Morton, a security specialist and former detective, offers his expert opinion on stalking: how to recognise that you're being stalked, and what to do if you are. Stalking is a serious criminal offence, one that happens throughout New Zealand daily and affects thousands of New Zealanders each year. While a small percentage of stalking is conducted overtly, in the main to intimidate, the majority of stalking is undertaken covertly. As with many aspects of our lives, technology is part of stalking and the increasing trend is that of cyber stalking. This type of stalker is becoming more prevalent with the increase in social media and online dating sites.
